I noticed the following log and wonder if any FreeBSD guru could tell me what these messages mean. Is there any way to fix that? Thanks in advance...

Jiggle the plug?  *laffs*  No, seriously...  Is it an AT keyboard?  How
many keys (usually 101, 102, 104, or such)?  There may be a line you can
tweak in /etc/rc.conf or add to /boot/loader.conf to workaround this,
especially if you know a lot about the hardware and stuff.  Can you even
get to a login or command prompt?  If so please post the dmesg output.
