Apple Keyboards, EFI and iPXE - devorac - 2018-03-22 23:16
I have see a number of references to a known issue with Apple keyboards and in particular the use of the CTRL key. Has anyone made any headway in sorting out the issues or a cause?

Most likely their firmware is broken, see https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commit/8dd39b95723af0aac20d16316d16f306d8394af2 for relevant commit and workaround.

@dev - Would be nice if the messages in iPXE, or perhaps online docs mentioned this.
(for the record, I'm seeing this on fairly generic PC hardware - HP USB keyboard, Gigabyte Z87N board, booting the Intel NIC)
