 The problem here is that we now attache to the PS/2 keyboard even if
 there isn't one actually connected.  This means we can plug PS/2
 keyboards into servers after boot, but means that USB keyboards don't
 work.  Once you're in multi-user mode, we have a devd.conf entry that
 causes the system to use the USB keyboard when it is plugged in, but
 that doesn't help with sysinstall.  I've got a patch that should cause
 the CDs to work with USB keyboards by not attaching the atkbd device if
 there is no PS/2 keyboard.  There's a test ISO at:

 If you could try it out and report back that would be helpful.  It
 doesn't contain install files because I built it at home where I'm stuck
 behind a 144k link.
