Thanks to some of the folks who replied and a couple of USB advice 
sites, I decided to try a BIOS upgrade. Version 1009 (was 1001C) no 
longer has the problem, so those of you with older Asus mobos, go get 
yourself a DOS floppy and get to it!

Now if only my USB legacy keyboard support would work for the FreeBSD 
loader... :-)
