It appears that once USB gets started up, the onboard 'DRAC'
(Dell Remote Access Console, I believe) takes over as a USB
"keyboard", leaving the PS/2 keyboard out in the cold.

The following work-arounds worked for me:

1) Booting using a USB keyboard attached to one of the USB ports.
   Attaching a USB keyboard *after* the machine has booted
   didn't work for some reason.

2) Turning off USB (usbd_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf) in
   single user mode.
