That makes sense - I missed the part in your initial email about it being the 
keydisk. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with how bootloader/bioctl access a 
keydisk. Does the SD card reader work otherwise?

It's a hardware question, so your chances for someone recognizing a solution 
still increase dramatically if you share a dmesg...
