I recently had to rebuild my kernel to allow FreeBSD to find my PS/2
mouse, as I was planning to run X. I followed the instructions as well
as I could, but now, somehow, my keyboard is dead. I think I have seen a
similar problem on the newsgroup before, but did not really pay any
attention to the solution. Does anybody out there know a fix to such a
problem? I know my mouse is the psm0 device, what is the keyboard
device? I had the vt0 devide enabled one, and the sc0 device enabled
after a second try, but neither worked out. 
I would appreciate any idea greatly, and solutions even more...

Thanks

Daniel
