Just my experence here, I'm using a USB KBD and PS/2
mouse just fine.

ukbd0: Microsoft Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro, rev
1.10/1.11, addr 3, iclass 3/1

My kernel config has:

device          atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
#device         atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 
device          psm0    at atkbdc? irq 12
...
device          uhci            
device          usb
device          ukbd
device          uhid

That said, I A) can't pause the bootloader (no option
in my BIOS for legacy USB support) B) or can I use a
PS/2 KBD at all with this configuration.

Hope it helps you out.

Jimmie
