- tested it on both USB2 and USB3 ports and same erro= r.
- added a gamer keyboard on all ports and same error.
- tested with both keyboads connected, but only one get error from the no= rmal keyboard, both failed with same error :)

= at boot time, none keyboards work.
at login time, both works.

I'm very curious about raspberry original keyboar= d! I will buy it next week.

Thanks very much for t= his awesome time that I learned more.
Thanks for your patience!

And I will stay tuned for updates on firmware and c= ontinue testing stable/current snapshots to check if boot is fixed.

That message was displayed by U-Boot before the
FreeBSD UEFI loader was even loaded to memory.

The FreeBSD UEFI loader operates by using U-Boot
services. If U-Boot fails to set up the keyboard
input, the same would be true in the FreeBSD UEFI
loader (beastie or otherwise) until FreeBSD's
kernel does its own bindings and things get another
chance at working.

(A similar point goes for storage media that U-Boot
fails to set up.)

Is the keyboard plugged into a USB2 port? USB3? Have
you tried both ways?

It does seem that the system and keyboard are not
well matched.
