The DRAC keyboard (USB) takes precedence over any other keyboard you 
attach.  I believe work is in progress to make FreeBSD recognise 
multiple simultaneous keyboards.

If you search for "freebsd 2850 keyboard" with google you should find 
other posts where this is described.  We only access our 2850s from the 
DRAC, which works for us.
