(re my previous fix where you echo something to the console at the
end of /etc/rc...)

Duh.  No, that doesn't really fix things.  There is one problem-
you need to have console output when there is a pending character in the
keyboard input.

It must be a problem in the console driver.

I'll look at this when I have some free time.
