In a nutshell, if I reboot out of FreeBSD, my keyboard becomes non-functional, until I power my laptop off/on again. For example, say I use reboot(8) to boot out of FreeBSD. When the boot loader comes up, which in my case is LILO, I find that I cannot navigate with the keyboard. Seemingly, none of the keys work. To diagnose what was going on, I configured LILO to boot straight into Linux. OK, so I reboot out of FreeBSD, and reach the LILO menu. I hit a few keys, and see no response. Once Linux boots, I can see the keys that I hit "replaying" on the screen. Apparently, what's going on is the keyboard buffer isn't being flushed. This is only when I reboot after running FreeBSD-current. If I power-on from the off state, or reboot from Linux or Windows, the keyboard behavior is normal. Also, once running FreeBSD, keyboard behavior is normal (provided I boot "cold" or from any other OS, not FreeBSD). Maybe it's something specific to my HP Pavilion notebook and the latest FreeBSD-current... :-/
