>Description:
When booting a virtual machine under qemu 10.1.0 like so:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom boot-com.iso -nographic
... the bootloader splash screen does not get any keyboard input. Once the VM is booted, keyboard works normally.
Reporting this with the 10.1 boot-com.iso, but the problem happens on current (11.99.4) as well.
>How-To-Repeat:
pkgin install qemu
ftp ftp https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/20251116090151Z/amd64/installation/cdrom/boot-com.iso
Start the VM like so:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom boot-com.iso -nographic
...observe the splash screen counting down, try to stop the countdown.
