If the keyboard works during the initial part of the boot, I believe it should be possible to disable it without building a new kernel, using userconf(4). Although I haven't tried it, the steps are probably along the lines of: 1 - interrupt boot loader 2 - "boot -c" 3 - in userconf, "disable pckbc" 4 - "exit" Eric
