Description of problem:
W/ USB keyboard, The prompt to enter "interactive" boot mode is before HID is
setup, thus, keyboard is not yet enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Boot w/ USB, press I

Additional info:

The best answer to this I can figure is to allow a kernel command line to
trigger interactive mode, or start HID in the initrd (optionally, with a kernel
cmdl to skip)
