Mount the kern floppy on another FreeBSD box and do some surgery on
it along the following lines:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
rm /mnt/boot.config
umount /mnt

That should keep the -P flag out of your boot line and ensure that the
keyboard is properly detected.  I think our use of -P was over-eager
since there are motherboards which don't play nice with it, like this
one.
