I recently cvsup'd to -STABLE a clean 5.4 install, and when I did so, my USB keyboard (on a Dell GX280) did not work in single-user mode. I had previously (when working with 5.4-RELEASE as a clean install) created an /etc/rc.i386 file with the kbdcontrol redirect line in it as specified in the Handbook, and that worked fine. During the final mergemaster run in upgrading to -STABLE, the rc.i386 file I'd created was removed as obsolete. What worked was to remove 'device atkbd' from the kernel, rebuild, and reboot, as per the ukbd man page. The only remaining issue is that in bootup I get a complaint from kbdcontrol that device /dev/ukbd0 is busy. It's after mounting filesystems and doesn't show up in dmesg. Grepping /etc, I see that there's an attach/detach sequence in /etc/devd.conf which includes a kbdcontrol line for /dev/ukbd0. Should I modify this? My GX280 has no old-style kbd or ps2 mouse ports at all. Don Wilde
