   Hah. I booted one of those NUCs from the AI-healthcare company with all the security problems (it wasn't connected to a network!) and it turns out they configured their system to fsck / on EVERY BOOT.

   clearly they have a LOT of trust in... well, all kinds of things. power supply, system crashes, bad hard drives?

     the fuckknobs turned off USB-keyboard support in the BIOS

     which means when grub boots I can't select anything. and I can't get into the BIOS to fix it, because guess what? THE KEYBOARD DON'T WORK

     or it might be getting confused by this keyboard being too "fancy". maybe it doesn't trigger the BIOS's USB-keyboard support

     I eventually just let it boot to the installer, which made the USB work, since it was a full OS

     and now I'm in the BIOS, thanks to:

     systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

     yeah I think the UEFI is messed up and has keyboards turned off.

     whelp. I took it apart to find out what it was: A Qotom Q4200UG2-P.

     They don't seem to believe in "manuals" or anything like that, so I can't find any info on how to unfuck the bios

     Where are you going to find a PS/2 keyboard in this day and age?
