PS/2 keyboard support in mid-boot borked

For months now PS/2 keyboard support has been broken during boot with the
GENERIC kernel.
If one has an error in /etc/fstab such that / cannot be mounted, the
kernel prompts with
Manual root filesystems specification:
[examples listed]
mountroot>
However one cannot respond to the prompt as keyboard input is ignored.
This seems to be a casualty of kbdmux(4) support being committed back in
February. Is anyone working on fixing this?
