 This is a known problem. It's intermittent and difficult to reproduce.
 
 When this happens again, login to the system via serial or network and
 try the following command.
 
     kbdcontrol -r fast < /dev/ttyv0
 
 (You may have to become root to do this.)
 
 The command actually changes the keyboard typematic rate and it
 doesn't do anything special to recover from lock up, but, the keyboard
 MAY become functional as a side effect under FreeBSD 2.1.X.
 
 If you are using X and a PS/2 mouse when the lock up happens and run
 the above command, the PS/2 mouse may go wild. This is harmless. 
 Switch away from X to another vty (by pressing Ctl+Alt+Fn, yes, I
 expect the keyboard is working again after the kbdcontrol command) and
 come back to X, then the mouse should be OK.
 
 Hope this might help.
