[coreboot] keyboard tricks in SimNOW?

I found a comment in the Serengeti DTS that says it would be nice to look at
an lspci.  I thought "I can do that pretty easily." 

I booted a DSL 4.3 CD with the original BIOS and the keyboard doesn't seem
to work.  I tried the paste text command and couldn't get that to work
either.  Each keypress and release is logged correctly by the simulator, but
somehow gets lost.

I booted with a coreboot + LAB kernel, but there are weird key problems
there too.  Even though each key shows up correctly in the shell, only a
random mix of the characters get passed to the shell (most of the times
every other character.) I was able to do an ls /dev/* by typing llss
//ddeevv//**, which passed the command once with Enter, then again with the
next Enter.

Is there a trick to this?  I'm tried it on SimNOW 4.4.1pub 4.4.2pub and
4.4.4pub.

Thanks,
Myles
