FreeBSD 4.x supports device.hints?  I thought that was a 5.x feature.

So I tried putting
  hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x00"
in /boot/loader.conf, but that didn't make any difference.

Change the flags parameter in the kernel config file, and recompile the
kernel.

Does this mean that it's impossible to clear this flag without
recompiling the kernel? If so, is there a reason for this?

From what I know of 4.x, the only way to change device flags is to
recompile the kernel. 5.x has the handy device.hints file and you can set
hints via /boot/loader.conf (preferred as device.hints is overwritten
during installworld).


Not quite.

from /boot/loader.conf:

userconfig_script_load="YES"

from /boot/kernel.conf:

flags atkbd0 0
quit


Or you can use "boot -c" at the loader prompt, and use the configuration utility directly, but after that you'll need to use kget to save it permanently
