[nos-bbs] JNOS on Raspberry Pi - Keyboard garbage on start?

[Brian Pasternak]

More update.

I've just tried Windows Bash, instead of Putty, with the same result.

My /etc/default/keyboard file looks correct. Removing the 'BACKSPACE=' line
makes no difference.

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc104"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

Best,
Brian, AB3RI
