Another way would be to use the `inputattach' program, which is
shipped with the `joystick' package (sic) and also does line speed
setting etc. for you.

IIRC the serial port needs to register a serio device, set correct
baud/cstopb/... settings and set VSXXXAA/LKKBD identity on the two
serio ports. I *hope* the rest happens automatically then. (Another
way would be to look into how the Sun guys get their keyboards
up'n'running...)
