Bug 24511

Summary: keyboard lockup on boot (about 1/3 of the time)
Product: Base System Reporter: root <root>

Description root 2001-01-21 20:00:01 UTC 
About 1/3 of the time, my FreeBSD machine keyboard locks up at boot
time.  The system itself continue to work and boot normally, but the
keyboard just won't work.  Since this is a home machine, this is an
annoying problem.

NOTE:  in the past, this machine has run Linux 2.0/2.2, NetBSD 1.4, and 
FreeBSD 3.X.  This problem began with my 4.1.1 install and continues with 
4.2 (as of December 18) as well.

Fix: 

None really. . .just hit the reset button.  NOTE:  I would cheerfully 
test patches that resolve this problem.
How-To-Repeat: 
If I reboot 3 or 4 times, this will happen once.

The keyboard seems to be recognized ok...

Would you boot the kernel by giving "boot -v" at the boot
loader's prompt and send me the output from dmesg?
