IMHO that is not the case. In src/sbin/kbd/kbd_wscons.c a for
loop goes through /dev/wskbd{0-NUM_KBD} and tries to open the
devices, on success the the encoding is set. 

Another contradiction to what you say is the it works on an
installed system and is only a problem on the install media.

With help from Kennth R Westerbeck I have found the culprit here
is that there is no /dev/wskbd1 on the install media. A cd /dev,
sh MAKEDEV wskbd1 solves the problem.

I believe that this is the correct fix and just hope that it does
not add to much on the install media.
