    Plug an USB keyboard and do the install. Then configure your machine
    to start xdm and mark /dev/ttyC0 as "off" in /etc/ttys. After that you
    can use your iBook without the USB keyboard.

    There is a problem with the keyboard detection on new iBooks. The
    OpenFirmare always says it has an USB keyboard, even when none is
    plugged in. The OpenBSD kernel probes the USB keyboard and uses it as
    the console keyboard.
