Hi Holger, For the USB keyboard to work correctly without unplugging and repluging it back, the "hint.atkbd.0.flags" line has to be removed from the /boot/device.hints file.
Since Hacom systems include ones with PS/2 keyboard and mouse, and ones without, we just enable the USB so we can boot from the flash drive. It makes our lives easier to support pfSense on ur systems. Maybe I will put the USB flash drive images up on the web as an alternative to the LiveCD.
