Well, hey, I can't run -current coz you haven't done the Domain
keyboard mods yet.  I was close, though, right? 8)

You might want to point out that in that case, ttya0 is going to be
the _keyboard_ port, which may confuse people, and ttya1 will conflict
with dca0 if present.

IMHO this is the wrong thing to have done, the devices should match 
the three serial ports with the UART for the keyboard, regardless 
of architectural similarities, kept for use by the keyboard driver.
