Hi,

There is a bug in apple's bootcamp.  This was found by some solaris
hackers:

https://www.opensolaris.org/jive/message.jspa?messageID=32756

First of all, I haven't contacted them yet...  Are there any legal
issues in applying this?  I think it is quite trivial, it's 4 lines of
assembler code.

The issue is that when reading from the keyboard, makes the system
hang.  Their fix was waiting for a key and only read the input when a
key was pressed.  This means some busy waiting has to be introduced
into GRUB.

Okuji, do you see this as a bug fix and do you want to see this patch
applied?

Thanks,
Marco
