Release: 5.1 boot problems on IBM x335

Hi,

I just borrowed a x335 from IBM 
(http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/eserver/xseries/x335.html) to test it out for a 
future project.
Installing FreeBSD 4.8 was no trouble, but when I tried installing 5.0 and 
5.1 a problem arised:

The x335 has 1 cable for keyboard, video, mouse (KVM), and because some 
sort of changes has accured in the boot process between 4.8 and 5.X, the 
keyboard stops working if you boot with the default "values". My guess is 
that it has something to do with the transit to ACPI.

If I boot with ACPI drivers I get:

Jun 17 18:12:10 x335 kernel: atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 
0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
Jun 17 18:12:10 x335 kernel: atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
Jun 17 18:12:10 x335 kernel: atkbd: unable to set the command byte.
Jun 17 18:12:10 x335 kernel: device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6
Jun 17 18:12:10 x335 kernel: psm0: unable to set the command byte.

If I boot without ACPI or in safe mode I get:

Jun 17 18:15:14 x335 kernel: atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 
0x64,0x60 on isa0
Jun 17 18:15:14 x335 kernel: atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
Jun 17 18:15:14 x335 kernel: kbd0 at atkbd0
Jun 17 18:15:14 x335 kernel: psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0

and everything works "fine".

Sorry if this is the wrong mailing list to post problems like this, please 
point me to the right place if it is so.
