The keyboard works in the BIOS part of the boot. I can get into=20
UserConfig with it, but after FreeBSD takes over the boot it no longer=20
works. And after configuring the kernel with UserConfig it works fine.=20
I am using it to type this message. It is only when I do not interrupt=20
the boot process that the keyboard does not work.

The kernel that I am booting now has both enabled (I think) thusly:
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD
device atkbd0 at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1
device psm0 at atkbdc? irq 12
and thus:
# USB support
device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device ugen # Generic
device uhid # "Human Interface Devices"
device ukbd # Keyboard
device ulpt # Printer
device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da
device ums # Mouse
device uscanner # Scanners
device urio # Diamond Rio MP3 Player

The rc.conf file is a little messy, perhaps there is a conflict of some=20
sort here? Changes have been made to this while playing around, but I=20
have been uncertain about whether or not to comment out lines in this=20
file.

dmesg is here, but perhaps this will not do you any good? This is from=20
the last boot, in which UserConfig was used to enable the PS/2=20
keyboard. When I had booted the kernel without USB keyboard support, I=20
was forced to switch the machine off, which is the reason / was not=20
properly dismounted.
