It appears my ability to fix bugs without hardware is better than I
thought. I managed to borrow a G4 iBook today, and the internal keyboard
works perfectly with the above patch applied. I'd appreciate some more
testing, and will clean it up a little before committing.
On another note, it appears that loader is broken on this machine. I had
to roll back to one from the end of 2007 to get it to boot -- it stalled
right before loading loader.conf. Maybe it has to do with how it started
opening the NIC several times?
