NEC MobilePro 770, uname -a output:
NetBSD camilla.zlz.net 1.4P NetBSD 1.4P (CAMILLA) #3: Sun Jan 16 12:15:17 EST 2000     dbj@camilla.zlz.net:/u1/hpcmips/src/sys/arch/hpcmips/compile/CAMILLA hpcmips


>Description:

        When booting with pbsdboot with option -d, it drops into the
debugger, but I get an error for each keystroke.  For example, pressing
the `a' key results in the message:
        vrkiu: Unknown scan code 0x1f

The ddb prompt is not useful in this mode.

After a regular boot, regular keystrokes work in ddb, although
the shift key does not work, making it difficult to type
keystrokes such as ? or _.

>How-To-Repeat:
        use the option `-d' in the pbsdboot options menu.
