I found a fix and diff's attached.  This hack lets you boot in 'safe 
mode' and seems harmless for Compaq R3000Z.

Somehow this machine shuts down when it issues 'Keyboard Interface 
Test' command (0xab) to port 0x64.

It only boots in 'safe mode' because of broken nForce3/BIOS.  See the 
chipset section from the following link:

http://withagen.dyndns.org/FreeBSD/notes/amd64-hardware.html

We may need to add this in hints as a flag (e. g., 
hint.atkbdc.0.flags) or a MIB (e. g., hw.atkbdc.disable_test).

I only verified in FreeBSD/amd64 but it should work for FreeBSD/i386 
and DragonFlyBSD.

Cheers,

* PS: Since we have ACPI blacklist feature now, we can blacklist this 
BIOS.
