>Description:
On a Dell Dimension 9200 system there is no ps2 keyboard.  The bios has legacy support so its usb attached keyboard works until freebsd boots.  Using this, I escaped to the loader prompt and added

set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"

This is what a 5.5 installer does when you choose "Boot FreeBSD with USB keyboard" but the usb keyboard is not recognized.  On a different system I checked that usb keyboard support is compiled in the kernel so it appears this is a bug....
