Oh was i close to the answer.
The solution is to use the eeprom command and reboot
eeprom input-device=keyboard
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6 -g180

Check your eprom settings (you can use the eeprom (1M) comamnd ) command,
you probably have something like "input-device=ttya", you need
"input-device=keyboard".

Go to the boot prom and reset the input-device and output-device to their
default values. 'reset' (or powercycle) the computer, and all will be
well.
