iLO keyboard with -CURRENT

I cannot use my HP iLO keyboards on -CURRENT, using either a fresh build 
off of HEAD, or the installer on the April snapshots.  I read about 
booting to "safe mode", but the installation in question doesn't have 
that BSD boot loader.

Is there a way to workaround this?  It makes testing -CURRENT very 
difficult, as none of my machines are physically proximate to me, and I 
generally rely on iLO's virtual keyboard, console and media for all 
administrative tasks.
