FWIW, I've had problems with 7.0's boot loader locking up too. I'm running a -stable compile from march and during bootup, if I make too many keypresses the bootup sequence freezes. Once loader has handed off to the kernel then everything's fine, but I can't make any use of loader's or bootX's command lines without the system freezing. I'm careful not to touch my keyboard during bootup! Keyboard and mouse are both USB.
