You should be able to remove it with 'en atkbd0' in UserConfig or by just deleting the 'di atkbd0' line from /boot/kernel.conf. What happens when you make this change? I'd expect the keyboard to start working, but I'm not sure there isn't something else strange going on here. > It does not look like that it is seeing the keyboard.

The handbook covers the whole process in great detail. 5.1 is a great improvement on 5.0, but it'll still have a few rough edges. I'd be cautious running it on my only machine, or one I couldn't live without if something horrible did happen.
