    I've seen this in the far past - back in the 2.x or early 3.x days.

    I don't remember the exact flag I used but it was one of
    the options you will find in LINT under the area
    labeled # options of atkbd.

    The BIOS on one of the machine I had then did not detect a keyboard
    and thus set the keyboard to the serial port, but I haven't used
    this option for about 5 years.
