Description
The boot2 stage (gptzfsboot) does present ~5 second time window to interrupt automatic boot and get boot: prompt, unfortunately this text entry has problem, allowing to trigger infinite loop.

The problem is about avoiding the noise from some systems, generating
false key events with scan code 1 and ascii code 00, so the code
does attempt to filter such cases out. Unfortunately the extended keys
also set ascii 0, and therefore the pressed key event is ignored and
the keypress is never read, resulting in infinite loop.
The solution is to move the check to keyhit() function and to allow
the rest of the code to process the extended keys.
