To work properly it has to be done at a lower level than usbd, you want
it working when you boot into ddb. USB keyboards do have /dev
entries, I have a cordless USB keyboard, I've been doing this insufficient
hack at boot:
if [ -c /dev/kbd1 ]; then
cp /dev/null /dev/kbd1 2> /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
/usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1
fi
fi
which works for me especially since I just leave a second keyboard plugged
into it. Yes, I know this is no solution.
I assume there was a problem with leaving both keyboards enabled and
mixing the input? That would work for me.
