There is a known problem with the console driver in earlier releases of
both NetBSD and FreeBSD.  I believe that FreeBSD 1.1Beta has it fixed???
I have heard of a work-around (a very nasty one) where you hit a key
on the keyboard as the system is coming up.  This is just a preliminary
reply, until someone who really knows can pipe up with an answer (my
work is mostly just VM stuff on FreeBSD.)
