But in this case, it would be better to recompile a kernel specifying
to detect the leaf devices (here the keyboard) in order to have a
keyboard during the boot sequence (with an USB attached keyboard,
I had various problems with no keyboard available during boot time;
and the necessity to disconnect and reconnect the USB keyboard,
that was, then, not correctly mapped, whether by wscons or the
kernel config, that is even not an ASCII mapping when I use an
AZERTY keyboard, but a pure chaos with no ability to login since
some "letters" were even not mapped (for example the 'o' nowhere
on the keyboard making it a "little" difficult to login as root to
try to solve something...).

For me, USB is the acronym of Universal Serial Bother.
