@ipxe-devel @mcb30 

Hello.

* Today have tested your above ^^ keyboard patch today and it worked.
* The ESC key can now act as an alternative to CTRL
* Maybe also condider to be giving a small hint to the user.

For example it currently says:

"Press ctrl-c to exit"

Maybe ammend that to say something like:

"Press ctrl-c or esc-c to exit"

Anyway its very good. Thank you. Please commit / merge.

2.

Also as discussed on IRC, please think to disable this CRYPTO_80211_* in the UEFI build:

https://github.com/dreamcat4/docker-images/blob/master/linux-bin/ipxe/nocrypto/general.h

To avoid the un-needed 20 seconds of boot delay for users of mainstream products such as Gigabyte etc. (for the gathering entropy).

Many thanks.
