[Testing] Cannot get the OK prompt using Esc

[Holt]

It sounds like 5 of the 6 XO-1's do not have their Developer Keys 
properly installed.

If so, you need to install the developer key custom to each of those 5 
XO-1 laptops:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys#What_to_do_when_you_receive_your_activation_or_developer_keys
/Step 6 above is the fundamental step that makes this happen:

/

    The XO searches for /security/develop.sig on any media (not just the
    internal NAND). As of recent builds, there is no longer any visual
    indication that the XO found a developer key in the normal boot
    graphics. You can check whether the developer key was accepted by
    entering the OFW prompt by pressing /Escape/ key (at the upper left,
    marked Image:Esc.png <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/File:Esc.png>)
    immediately after powering on the laptop, such as at the time the
    speakers chime.

        * To permanently disable secure booting, press /Escape/ and type
          "disable-security", then power cycle and repeat that command.
          (see Disable the security system
          <http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys#Disable_the_security_system>
          ...)


Then the Esc key will then give you an OK prompt immediately after 
turning on the computer.  Proceed with the 10 steps at bottom here, 
under "Development builds" :
