>Description:
When attaching the console keyboard the macppc port first checks
with OF if usb-kbd-ihandles exists. On older version of OF
this fails. Next it checks for adb-kbd-ihandle, and here
lies the problem. It seems that adb-kbd-ihandle exists
even if there is no adb keyboard present. This means that
the non-existent abd keyboard will be console
instead of the USB keyboard which is the last fallback.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have an adb keyboard configured in the kernel, but not present.
Then try to use a USB keyboard as console on an old iMac.
>Fix:
I'm not sure.
