 the kernel does not detect the keyboard and disables it and then switches
 the console to the serial device. My question is how do I force the 
 keyboard to always be enabled? I am not positive where I would do this
 and what the flag would be. Perhaps atkdb=0x01 ???

The driver documentation (man atkbd) shows how to configure a new
kernel to do this.  It also mentions that the boot process can set the
variable without needing to compile a kernel.

kernel tunable

Hi,

I have a dell poweredge server with a Remote Access Card installed. I 
successfully installed FreeBSD 4.10 on this system and it works great.
Unfortunately the RAC card does not accept input from a remote keyboard
when there is not a local keyboard installed. I beleive this is because
the kernel does not detect the keyboard and disables it and then switches

Thank You very much
