After getting 6.0-BETA2 installed from the serial console, I found that _any_ input on the PS/2 port causes the machine to lock up hard. I can break into the debugger, but as soon as I hit any key on the PS/2 keyboard, the machine locks up. I can't type anything (even from the serial console). The only way out is to do a hard reset. I've tried building a custom kernel and disabling apic and acpi. Nothing will get 6.0 to work with any locally attached keyboard. I also found a CD of 5.4-RC3, which boots perfectly on this machine with working PS/2 and USB keyboards. So, I thought maybe the kbdmux was the problem. I reverted the kbd code to original RELENG_6 version (kbd.c rev. 1.43 and kbdreg.h rev. 1.17), and the keyboard works once again. Anything else I can try to debug this problem with kbdmux further? Thanks.
