About the original question: multiple consoles in the kernel are
unsupported in FreeBSD-4 but are standard in -current. Unfortunately,
their implementation is slightly incomplete even in -current. In
-current, you get them by booting with -D after booting using the
kern.console sysctl. The numbe

Figuring out what the Right Thing is for handling disconnected keyboards
seems to be highly debatable. Until someone comes along and solves the
problem the way that you want it, one workaround to investig
