Hi, there have previously been problems with USB keyboards, but most of the related bug reports were 2-3 years old. I've stumbled across this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2006-October/002596.html It might help or it just may not.
In any case we definitely need more info; does anything regarding the keyboard show up in dmesg? Do you have a PS/2 keyboard around to be able to try that?
