It sounds like your config file has an error, and you've got device atkbd without also having device atkbdc BTW, attempting to remove the keyboard controller for a serial machine is a silly microptimization. You'll save a few K of kernel memory, at the cost of totally screwing yourself if you ever need to boot the machine with a graphics head (like if your terminal server goes bad). You need not do anything special to use a serial console. Just make sure /etc/ttys has an entry for ttyd0 enabled, and set the SRM console env to serial.
