I'm having problems with a kernel made with the sources from the 1/1
sys.tar.gz (and the swap_pager.c patch).  It's probing my keyboard
improperly during autoconfiguration, so that by the time I get to a
login: prompt the system won't respond to the keyboard.

I originally ran into this problem with FreeBSD-1.0EPSILON, and I can
get around it the same way I did then: I have to toggle a key on the
keyboard (I use NumLock) during the autoconfiguration phase of system
boot.  I reboot my machine often, though, so having to pound a key
during the process is a real pain in the butt; this problem was one of
the main reasons I switched to NetBSD in the first place.  One thing
I've noticed is that the NumLock LED toggles in response to my
keypresses before the beginning of autoconfiguration (probe of pc0)
and after the biomask/ttymask/netmask line is printed, but not in
between.

The timestamp in /sys/arch/i386/isa/pccons.c is 12/20/93; I'm
wondering what change was made between 12/4 and 12/20 that is causing
my problems.  Or should I look elsewhere?

My hardware is a Gateway 2000 DX66V with the non-green Micronics JX-30
motherboard and 16 MB of RAM.  I've included below my config file and
the output of dmesg from both the old kernel and the new kernel.
