Re early setting of typematic ... These days all my root filesystems are in LUKS containers. And one of my laptops was so hyper-typematic that there was about a 50% chance of getting the 'cryptsetup open' password accepted when prompted by the initrd. While this was great for security ($ADVERSARY has difficulty to boot the machine even if they stole the password!), it was a bit inconvenient. And also not great for security (gives $THEM multiple opportunities to surveil your password as you type it over and over again) ;p So I now run 'kbdrate' inside the initrd. This seems to have solved the problem there and in all subsequent layers.
