    check src/sys/conf/NOTES
    it explains the flags that can be set in /boot/device.hints
    #man atkbd
    check the file /boot/device.hints
    eg. hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x01" # try changing and test flags

    PS: Wait for others to reply to your post. I don't have much experince
    in FreeBSD and so far some people in the list would love to kick my
    ***.
