 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).
