Are you completely sure that the keyboard jack at the motherboard
is OK?  Is it loose, at all?

I say this, because I once helped a friend who was trying to boot up FreeBSD
on an old 486 which ran Win95 just fine, but did odd things when installing
FreeBSD.  After too much time spent looking at the hardware, we re-soldered
the keyboard jack at the motherboard, and poof, no more FreeBSD problems.

Unlikely I'm sure, but it's worth checking...
