I worked with someone once that said they blew out the ps/2 port on
the motherboard. As an alternative, maybe you could consider a kvm
switch?

Hi.
I realised I forgot the version after I mailed. Im speaking about
FreeBSD 4.11. Also by blowing the
machine up, what exactly do you mean? You end up blowing the
motherboard? Or the keyboard? Or
specifically what?

Hi.
I have a large amount of servers, and the problem is, that when I
need
to plug a keyboard into them, the keyboard is disabled since they
werent booted with a keyboard.
I was wondering if anyone has some idea of how to disable the
keyboard
probe at boot and make it so that the OS thinks that the keyboard is
present even if its not plugged in, so that a keyboard can be plugged
in at any stage, and will function normally.
Im speaking specifically for ps2 keyboards. Is this even possible, or
are there architecture problems or something else relating to this
that would make this impossible?
If this is possible, could someone please point me in the correct
direction as to which code I would need to look at to make this
possible?
What version of FreeBSD are you running? This hasn't been the case by
default for ages. As a warning, PS2 keyboards are not electricaly
designed to be hotplug so you may blow your machine up by doing this
(says someone who does it all the time).
