Hmmm that's interesting. *I've* never heard of problems with AT or PS/2
keyboards like that. You can maybe try till'ing the port-i386@ archives
but that seems like overkill. Really, to debug this, we'd need to see the
dmesg/kernel output regarding wscons and wskeyboard.

However, if you can't get to the keyboard....

One last thing comes to mind, if you happen to have a Null Modem serial
cable around, you can boot w/ serial console support.
