Alfred turned the atkbd probing off a while back: alfred 2004/04/01 13:48:31 PST FreeBSD src repository Modified files: sys/i386/conf GENERIC.hints Log: Fix booting with ps2 keyboards. Revision Changes Path 1.13 +0 -1 src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints This didn't actually affect booting with a PS/2 keyboard, but only meant that you could boot up without a PS/2 keyboard and then plug it in, at the cost of breaking all uses of USB keyboards unless you use explicit kbdcontrol commands.
