On my Sun I get the following offers:
AT Keyboard
Sun types 4 and 5
DECstation LK201/LK401
XT keyboard
Newton keyboard
Unless I am very mistaken, only the second one applies?
Also, configuring this one gives a non-functional keyboard (the machine is
running, I can log in over SSH, but keypresses have no effect at all).
Should I be looking elsewhere for SPARC support?
Thanks!

Well, the LK[24]01 was used by DECstations and VAXstations (as well as
some VT terminals), you can use it with a simple adaptor on any
machine that has a RS232 serial port. For example, I'm using such a
keyboard on my Athlon-based PeeCee.

Did the serial port register serio ports?

I used to have an UltraSPARC clone that needed the AT Keyboard. So, no, it's
not a mistake.
As far as your issue with the keyboard not working, did you enable
everything, like USB? What sort of ultrasparc is it?

Does it need some kind of "serial keyboard configuration"? Wouldn't that
make more sense?

How can I find this out?

OK, sounds reasonable given the "PCs with SPARC CPU" that Sun made lately.

No I did not.

An Ultra 1 (yes, I know it is old and klunky, but I kind of like it...).
That is why I did not configure USB or PCI (they just aren't available).
Should that make a difference?

Nah, just make sure you have all the right sbus stuff enabled. Been awhile
since I did a kernel for an sbus sparc64 that wasn't headless, so I'm not
much help right now :)

Just post your dmesg.. Or ssh into it and poke around /sys/bus/serio...
Sun keyboard can be autodetected AFAIK so you don't need to fiddle with
inputattach. Do you have sunsu or sunzilog drivers selected?

Well, on the right hardware, the serio port gets a flag set by the
serial driver that it expects a keyboard on a given port.
On all other hardware, you need to call "inputattach" to do that for
you.

Nothing relevant I can see.

Got /sys/sun/bus/serio/drivers/subkbd/ with several files inside

The setup works for the shipped Aurora kernel, but to compile that
configuration would take a few days...

SUNZILOG is module, and is not loaded right now. No serials in use.

Do you try to load any keymaps at boot time?
Try to disable that.

BUt nothing in /sys/bus/serio/devices, right? That means you don't have any
serial port drivers loaded so sunkbd does not have aport to attach to.

Please try loading it (or compile it in).

Finally found the culprit: SERIAL_SUNZILOG can't be module (or has to be
loaded early, dunno). The Aurora setup tries to load keymaps, and disabling
that made no difference.
Thanks all for the help!

If you want sunzilog to be modular, you have to make sure
the initrd loads it at the beginning of bootup if you want
to have a keyboard.
It's usually best to build it statically, which avoids all
of those complications.
