There's no reference for the ihandle the error prints. My guess is it should
be:
ff9575e0:    /keyboard@2

Sorry for the mailflood, but I'm new to the macppc architecture and can't
seem
to find some relevant pointers.
So far only
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2001/08/15/0000.html
describes somewhat the same problem.
Reading that, and the comments in machdep.c I doubt getting an usb keyboard
will do the trick.

I do wonder if any mac netbsd users out here have a correctly spelled
pseudo-hid, and if I can
change it to psuedo-hid somehow in OF to see if that makes things work? (can
I alias it somehow?)

More information is appreciated.

Thanks,

Axel
