I've been thinking about changing the way the keyboard/mouse are
configured so instead of hardwiring them to a particular zs instance, have
them check for the `keyboard:' OBP property and fail to attach if it does
not exist. That way we can wildcard all the kbd/ms/zstty device nodes.
Would that scheme work on older PROMs?
i'm pretty sure it won't work on sun4 :-)
as long as we don't _kill_ the ability to hardware things, i like this idea.
