There is no response after this. 
It progresses when the key is beaten. 

Almost 100% phenomenon was generated in the above-mentioned 
environment. 
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c
keyhit function
"for(;;)" is changed into "for(limit=0;limit<10000;limit++)". 
Waiting time is different though it is possible to solve by losing an infinite loop according to the environment.
