The correct behavior is currently unobtainable, but you may be able to get a sufficent approximation working. At the moment, you'll only be able to use the PS/2 keyboard in single user mode because syscons is going to always pick it and you can't switch unless you have a keyboard or are in multi-user mode. However, in multiuser you can change devd.conf to have a different behavior. It would be fairly simple to make /dev/kbd1 the primary keyboard and have the appearence of ukbd1 cause /dev/kdb2 to become and primary. Hopefully we'll have a real solution soon, but I haven't found the time to work on it as much as I'd like. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
