On i386-ieee1275, this doesn't really happen, because OFW shuts down USB when handing control to GRUB. Note that using at_keyboard was the existing behaviour up untill recently (it reverted to ofconsole because of the terminal split). On PC/BIOS, my proposed change would only affect terminal output. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
