check src/sys/conf/NOTES=20
it explains the flags that can be set in /boot/device.hints
#man atkbd
check the file /boot/device.hints
eg. hint.atkbd.0.flags=3D"0x01" # try changing and test flags

PS: Wait for others to reply to your post. I don't have much experince
in FreeBSD and so far some people in the list would love to kick my
***.
