    OK I checked t 3/ab/caps at a cold boot and it showed Mouse @ 6a and KB
@ 6c. However, once I booted (into multi-user without X) it didn't work
again, so I hit CTRL-ALT-<X and did t 3/ab/caps again and the devices had
swapped address from the correct ones to the incorrect ones. I typed go
knowing that I wouldn't be able to switch back into NetBSD and the system
reset. I checked t 3/ab/caps again, and the addresses were back to the
correct Mouse @ 6a and KB @ 6c. It would appear that NetBSD is somehow
causing my devices to switch themselves. But then, after booting again,
everything worked :)
    I'll try applying your patch and see if that helps clears things up.
I'll keep you posted.
