About the keyboard. I would try a standard (PC) usb keyboard and a vga monitor plugged in directly. Most USB PC keyboards will work fine as an input device, I have never had any of the problems others have mentioned when using non-sun keyboards ( other than not having the additional keys ).

kbdmux
KBDMUX(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual KBDMUX(4)
NAME
kbdmux -- keyboard multiplexer
SYNOPSIS
device kbdmux
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1"
DESCRIPTION
The kbdmux keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard''. The
kbdmux driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to it.
Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the kbdmux keyboard driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility.
SEE ALSO
kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4), vt(4)
HISTORY
The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
Maksim Yevmenkin <m_evmenkin@yahoo.com>
CAVEATS
The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW mode. Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard share the
same state. The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys.
