| The trackpoint works just fine -- *if* the touchpad is disabled.

| Here's an example of a trackpoint-only boot:
|=20
| pckbc0 at isa0 port 0x60-0x64
| pckbd0 at pckbc0 (kbd slot)
| pckbc0: using irq 1 for kbd slot
| wskbd0 at pckbd0: console keyboard, using wsdisplay0
| pms0 at pckbc0 (aux slot)
| pckbc0: using irq 12 for aux slot
| wsmouse0 at pms0 mux 0

This is just a wild guess, but what happens when you try to configure
to pc keyboard controllers ?
Replace:
pckbc0          at isa?
With:
pckbc*          at isa?
