Indeed this works kids.  For you people who have actually done your
homework and RTFM'd, be aware you need to use "IO_KBD" when you configure the
kernel , not "IO_BMS1" as the pms man page suggests.  You will probably need
to use IRQ 12 not 5, but this should be verified with a package like QAPlus.

Of course as always YMMV...
