If the keyboard works during the initial part of the boot, I believe it should be possible to disable it without building a new kernel, using userconf(4).  Although I haven't tried it, the steps are probably along the lines of:
1 - interrupt boot loader
2 - "boot -c"
3 - in userconf, "disable pckbc"
4 - "exit"
