IIRC the Soekris has built-in console redirection, so your kernel can
access a virtual keyboard+display.

For your custom kernel config, you may want to have a look at the NET4501
config shipped with NetBSD[*].  You'll have to adapt it to your 4801 (the
4501 has no USB), but it could be a good starting point for building your
own kernel configuration.
