I have a -STABLE box here, with a PS/2 keyboard AND an USB
keyboard attached. I can use _both_ keyboards. Concurrently!

Of course I do a

kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null

on system boot.

I would love to get rid of the PS/2 Keyboard, but boot2 and
loader don't seem to be able to use the USB keyboard.

"Keyboard-Legacy-Options" in the BIOS do seem to have no effect
on this behaviour.

Best regards,
 Daniel
