> Is there a way to turn the keyboard always 'on' so that i can get it to
work whenever i plug it in after the system is up and running.

In your kernel config, remove any flags for the keyboard device, i.e:

device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1

Now build a new kernel, reboot, and it should work as desired.
