Doesn't completely solve the problem for me. With kbdmux activiated, the keyboard doesn't work at all. When I deactivate it by putting hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" into /boot/device.hints, it partly works (about 90% of all keystrokes are lost). The strange thing is that this problem only occurs when mounting encrypted volumes (in my case the root fs) at boot time. Any other experiences?
