>Description:
When booting with pbsdboot with option -d, it drops into the
debugger, but I get an error for each keystroke. For example, pressing
the `a' key results in the message:
vrkiu: Unknown scan code 0x1f
The ddb prompt is not useful in this mode.
After a regular boot, regular keystrokes work in ddb, although
the shift key does not work, making it difficult to type
keystrokes such as ? or _.

use the option `-d' in the pbsdboot options menu.
