Same results with etherboot 5.4.1/pxelinux 3.11 and etherboot 
5.4.1/pxelinux 3.10-pre21.
pxelinux 3.10 gives the same results as pxelinux-3.10-pre21.

When the keyboard hangs, Num Lock/Caps Lock/Scroll Lock work fine but 
typing anything in
does not show up at the boot prompt and if you keep on trying then the 
keyboard buffer
overflows (beeping noises).  Pressing the enter doesn't do anything either.
Rebooting the pc with CTRL-ALT-DEL works fine though.
