I am having a problem with my keyboard.  When my i486/66 computer boots up and
gets to the getty prompt, I am unable to type anything.  However if I hit a 
few keys during the rc boot up stage, I am able to type on the keyboard.  
Or if I login remotely and kill the getty, and a new getty is started, I am
also able then to log in.  This problem only occurs on my i486/66 VLB.  My
i386/40 works just fine.  I am using the latest NetBSD-current sources.
Does anyone have similar problems or a solution?
