You want to use the USB keyboard as the only keyboard in the system,
and want to get rid of the AT keyboard, right?

Please try the following steps.  I have not tested this configuration
myself yet, but I expect it should work.

0. You said you have already done this, but I will write it for a
record anyway...

Make sure /dev/kbd* is present.  If not go to /dev and 

	./MAKEDEV kbd0 kbd1

Also make sure

	options "KBD_INSTALL_CDEV"

is included in your kernel configuration file.

1. Remove `atkbd0' from your kernel configuration file so that the AT
keyboard won't be recognized.  (Leave `atkbdc0' in, as it is used by
the PS/2 mouse driver `psm'.)

Then, you tell `syscons' to use the USB keyboard; this is necessary
because the USB drivers have not been attached when syscons is being
initialized, and syscons will not find the USB keyboard. Therefore, it
will start without a keyboard and you have to explicitly tell syscons
which keyboard to use.

This can be done in one of the two ways.

2a. Explicitly run the following command as a part of start-up script
(say, /etc/rc.i386).

	kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null

Note that /dev/kbd0 is the USB keyboard as the AT keyboard will not be
probed and attached.

2b. Specify a flag to `syscons' so that it will look for a keyboard.

	device sc0 at isa? tty flags 0x100

With this flag specified, `syscons' will periodically look for any
available keyboard until it finds one.
