I am in the process of switching to a USB keyboard with a PS/2 to USB mouse port on the KB [freeing IRQ 12].

The keyboard works, the mouse works.

My problem here is in getting past the BTX loader WITHOUT the AT keyboard attached.  How would I keep BTX from freezing when it 
can't see the AT keyboard?

Also, after over a month of not being able to buildworld with SMP-current, I managed to build a kernel from the same sources that I 
built my last SMP kernel with [yesterday's -current], except this time it was in uniprocessor configuration, and now I don't get the 
random panics which were most obvious when attempting to buildworld over the past month or so [I have tried new kernels about every 
week for over a month, all have had the same issues].

I have read that others seem to be having problems in SMP, and I guess I am not alone.  I saved the SMP kernel, so I can still boot 
into it, but these seem to be random, and I could sit for a minute or for an hour before I get to a point where I can even see the 
panic, but if any tracebacks are needed, I do have the debugger in, assuming this problem isn't already known.
