I have recently upgraded to a MacPlus, but already having a keypad, I
decided not to spend the extra for the new keyboard.  I now have an
annoying bug to contend with when I boot the system.

If the first key I depress is on the keyboard, it is ignored by the
system entirely; if it's on the keypad, I go into auto-repeat mode.  By
that I mean that it appears as if I'm holding the key down continuously.
This continues until I depress another key.

I believe that there is some sort of problem with the keypad and the
new ROMs.  The problem exists with new and old Finder and System files,
but disappears if I remove the keypad from the system.  I don't believe
the keypad is at fault since just one keypress per system boot causes
a problem.

Has anyone else encountered similar annoyances?  Does anyone have any
suggestions as to what specifically is happening?
