freebsd stable - Feb 2009 - FreeBSD 7.1 on MacBook Pro: sysinstall keyboard problems

Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE/i386 on a MacBook Pro (October
2008 model) with a US international keyboard.

The DVD boots fine, but once I get into sysinstall, it's like the Ctrl key
is stuck. Whenever I type 'C' it actually does Ctrl+C (and exits the
install), and I can't even get a dmesg from fixit because 'D' acts
like
Ctrl+D and logs me out. Has anyone seen this before, any ideas on how to fix
this?

Yes, I've seen this. It's the same in recent HEAD (both with old USB and
USB2). This started to happen with the MacBook Pros 4,1.

The keyboard does work in X but not on the console. (i installed using a 
USB keyboard).

I would very much like to see this working, but i have absolutely no 
clue where to start looking...

Cheers,
