USB keyboard issue

[Rajappa Iyer]

Well, I made a mistake of buying a "next-gen" motherboard with no PS/2
connectors... USB and firewire only.  FWIW, it's an Abit IT-7 Max.
It's a reasonably nice mobo, but...  

Now FreeBSD-5.x does boot up on this and has no problem with the USB
keyboard if my BIOS setting for the USB keyboard support is "OS".
However, in this case BootMgr does not see the keyboard.  If I change
the BIOS setting for USB Keyboard support to "BIOS", then BootMgr is
happy with the keyboard, but not FreeBSD.

Any ideas? 

# uname -a 
FreeBSD kamikaze.chileheads.org 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA #0: Sat May 17 15:29:48 PDT 2003     root at kamikaze.chileheads.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC  i386

FYI, 4.8-STABLE did not have a problem with seeing the keyboard when
the keyboard support was set to "BIOS".  Nor does NetBSD-1.6.1.
