    Initially I had only PS/2 keyboard, once I found it is not working, then
    I plugged-in the USB keyboard.
    Still the same issue. I can say that keyboards are working fine but the
    system doesn't accepts the keys.

    One more input: In single user mode PS/2 keyboard is working fine. But
    when you enter into multiuser mode (after devfs) it doesn't accept any
    keys. I had disabled the 'usbd' and 'moused' in rc.conf. After rebooting
    also it is not accepting any keys in login prompt.

    Any clues?

    Thanks.
