[coreboot] rs232 Keyboard

So I'm not sure if this is a coreboot issue - sorry in advance if not - but
I have to start somewhere:
I'm connecting to an embedded device using a serial port (rs232). This
device starts Coreboot, then syslinux (extlinux) and finally a custom linux
distribution. Sometimes I want to stop syslinux and choose another boot
option (in its boot prompt) - by clicking the ESC key.
My problem is: the keyboard doesn't work, i.e. I get the boot prompt, but
can't write. I've already tried adding sgabios to our precompiled coreboot
rom, as per [1], and I can check that it was added (I suppose), given
cbfstool's output:
Name Offset Type Size
vsa 0x0 stage 57532
vgaroms/sgabios.bin 0xe100 raw 4096
(empty) 0xf140 null 3608
fallback/romstage 0xff80 stage 18947
fallback/coreboot_ram 0x14a00 stage 89248
fallback/payload 0x2a700 payload 40356
(empty) 0x34500 null 309256
but still, the keyboard doesn't work. Is this not a coreboot issue? What
can I do to further debug the problem?
