OK, now that's just weird. You don't see any response whatsoever from
tapping at the keys?
If you set a TIMEOUT, can you run a DEFAULT even though you cannot type?
That's one way to figure out whether the machine is dead at that point
or not. A useful DEFAULT might be reboot.c32, that way even if the bug
is in the display code, you'll still notice your machine rebooting.
This is starting to sound like the core EFI code is hitting some nuance
of your firmware, and it's not handling it correctly.
