You'll need to recompile your kernel with BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET
defined.

>From /sys/i386/conf/LINT:

# BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET disables the use of the keyboard controller to
# reset the CPU for reboot.  This is needed on some systems with broken
# keyboard controllers.
#options	"BROKEN_KEYBOARD_RESET"
