    It appears that once USB gets started up, the onboard 'DRAC'
    (Dell Remote Access Console, I believe) takes over as a USB
    "keyboard", leaving the PS/2 keyboard out in the cold.

    The following work-arounds worked for me:

    1) Booting using a USB keyboard attached to one of the USB ports.
       Attaching a USB keyboard *after* the machine has booted
       didn't work for some reason.

    2) Turning off USB (usbd_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf) in
       single user mode.
