I'm in the same situation for my rack servers, and I solved using an USB
keyboard :-)
Enabling USB support in the kernel and in the BIOS of the machine is
just what I need.
When inserted you have only to do something like
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console
operating from a ssh/telnet/etc. session and voila, USB kbd is
activated :-)
When remove you do the same with /dev/kbd0.
Probably if you disable the atkbd in the kernel you don't ever need such
kbdcontrol magic.
