I added USB Keyboard and USB mouse support to my image and bought a $10
adapter. That was the only way I could fix it. Now, as soon as I plug in,
within about 5 seconds, I have mouse and keyboard.

I did notice that every once in awhile, It may not be detected, and I have
to unplug and stick in the other usb port, then it's detected. This seems
to be related to Bios Settings - Enable USB Keyboard Support. If I turn
that off, then I do not have the occasional issue with USB not being
detected. Weird.

But now, I ran into a problem recently, if there is not a monitor plugged
in, it will not detect it later. I have to boot with the monitor plugged
in, then it works fine.
