Hello Kevin,

Something I just realized. When am using filo I can use the keyboard 
input but this is in fact coming from
the UART link, not the PS2 connector itself, sorry for that.

However, I've tried to press F12, on the UART client as well as on the 
PS2 keyboard, I cannot reach
seabios menu.

Something is indeed very wrong as using coreboot as BIOS does not 
initialize the keyboard in fact.
Pressing "num lock" on the keyboard does not change the LED status. With 
the legacy BIOS it does
of course.

I am sending you what you have asked anyway. So I guess as for the VGA 
we are back to coreboot
code base?

Thank you
