Is there any solution for this yet? I am experiencing similar problems with 6.2 BETA3 in a VMware session with encrypted root fs. When I boot with kbdmux enabled, I cannot enter anything. Turning it off changes the behavior to those "lost keystrokes". Sometimes I have to press the key about 20 times before anything actually happens.
