On my Macbook, omitting the terminal_input line works fine; I can use
the keyboard.  The layout for passphrase and boot menu remains US
English though, as it always was for the passphrase and as it was with
terminal_input usb_keyboard.  But this is much better than no
keyboard in the boot menu at all (and I prefer US English anyway).

Thank you for sharing your expertise Danny!
