Hi:
Thanks for your reply.  I know that FreeBSD developers are busy people and 
give up precious time for FreeBSD development.  I respect that a great deal, 
and appreciate the developers taking the time to help.  I also understand 
that the time constraints require that users spend some time looking into 
problems on their own.

I produced a complete system configuration that may help to track down what 
is going on with my Acer Aspire USB keyboard (see below).  I may not be the 
best qualified to render an opinion, but I have noticed that my keyboard 
uses IRQ 1 and 12, and I/O ports: 0060h and 0064h, while FreeBSD reserves 
IRQ 12 and I/O port 0060 fro the PS/2 mouse.  I'm not sure exactly how 
devices map to resources.  Is there a coupling of IRQ and I/O port?  If so, 
is my system using (IRQ,I/O port) pairs: (1,0060h) and (IRQ 12,0064h)?  
Since FeeBSD uses (12,0060h) for the PS/2 mouse, there could be a mismatch.

Another possible conflict may be on IRQ 11.  FreeBSD assigns this to the 
Adaptec SCSI controller while my system uses this for the PCI to USB 
Universal Host Controller.

As described in the HARDWARE.TXT file in the installation (snapshot) 
directory, userconfig is supposed to provide an opportunity to clear up any 
such conflicts but my system is unusable as soon as the kernel is booted 
(which occurs just before userconfig).  However, the boot floppy kernel is 
GENERIC, so perhaps it is subsceptable to a device conflict before such a 
conflict can be resolved by the user.

One other clue: the floppy drive light remains on while the system is 
unusable.  Could this indicate a system problem instead of a keyboard 
problem?

***NOTE: I have 5 USB ports available on my system, and I think that one or 
two other devices use USB (like a sound control on my keyboard).  I believe 
that is why I have two serial bus controllers. I have seen USB 4-port hub 
configurations where one plugs into the other, giving a total of 7 free 
ports.
