Dear Hackers,

kbdmux(4)/syscons(4) patch was committed to -current. please give it a 
try and report any problems you might have with it.

to activate kbdmux(4) simply

1) add 'kbdmux_load="YES"' to /boot/loader.conf and reboot

or

2) kldload kbdmux && kbdcontrol -K < /dev/ttyv0

once kbdmux is active any keyboard (i.e. ukbd(4)/vkbd(4)) attached to 
the system will be automatically added to the kbdmux.

to de-activate kbdmux

1) remove 'kbdmux_load="YES"' from /boot/loader.conf and reboot

or

2) kldunload kbdmux -- this will set active keyboard to the first 
available keyboard (usually atkbd0)

thanks,
max
