This is super interesting. I kind of want to use this to turn one of my old laptops into a Scheme machine. But from the docs I think on bare metal it's only usable over serial.

To have a working keyboard with en-us keys layout and LAN (Intel's NIC card) you need to build image from the latest development version, it might be an EFI or a legacy MBR image. The REPL is only interpreted, it does not have runtime bindings (I mean you can't change the running system state because REPL creates new library instances) and it does not compile at runtime.
I did successfully run the bare-metal Loko image on the ThinkPad x230 with GUI, mouse and keyboard access.
