I've just modified seabios to resend commands when 0xfe is received as a
quick hack. It makes my keyboard working again. I'm not sure if SeabIOS
should handle 0xfe as RESEND or not - have not monitored much Keyboards,
and don't know wether this has any side effects.

The boot log can be found here:

The diff i've made to seabios is: (beware, it's just an ugly hack just for
testing)
