how about this addition as well:
.It Fl k Ar keyboard_device
Use the specified device as the console keyboard.
+When using this option, the standard input of the
+.Nm
+process should be redirected from
+.Pa /dev/console
+if you are not working on the system console or a virtual terminal
+(see
+.Sx EXAMPLES
+section).
Or, if you don't speak mdoc:
-k keyboard_device
Use the specified device as the console keyboard. When using
this option, the standard input of the kbdcontrol process should
be redirected from /dev/console if you are not working on the
system console or a virtual terminal (see EXAMPLES section).
