Hrmm - your log indicates it did get to the menu:

Was the output not on the screen, or is it just that you couldn't
actually get the menu to come up when hitting F12?

I don't think it matters - the log shows your keyboard is being
detected.

No - SeaBIOS uses the normal USB interface.  The "legacy" stuff
involves SMIs and is platform dependent.  Using the standard interface
is more portable.
