>Description:
	When booting into DDB as follows:

	>>> boot ewa0 -fl "d"

	the console keyboard is not properly initialized, apparently.
	It behaves as if a "random" keymap is being used, where keys
	types essentially produce random junk.

	I have submitted this as a "port-alpha" because the problem does
	NOT exist on my PPro using wscons.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot into DDB on an Alpha equipped as above.

>Fix:
	Unknown.
