Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 I guess that they are seeing problems with USB keyb support.

 On a quick test with my A2 board, Q413, low-cost USB kb from Genius worked
 correctly -- as long as no keys on the laptop were pressed during boot.

 During an initial attempt where I had the USB kb sitting on top of the
 membrane keyboard, OFW would ignore my pressing the ESC key on the USB kb,
 probably due to accidental keypresses on the membrane.

 Procedure

  * Plug usb kb
  * Press power btn
  * Press-and-hold esc on the USB keyboard during boot
  * Use USB keyb
