    similar behavior at boot, at least since test11, to wit: at boot:
    prompt, hitting tab causes what seems to be several pages of
    scrolling with the odd character here and there, in place of a list
    of available boot options. after several seconds, boot: prompt
    reappears as usual, and one may, if one has remembered their names,
    type in any of the possibilities, and boot that choice.
