Details

The version of /etc/conf.d/inputattach in the package only tries to attach a microsoft serial mouse to /dev/ttyS0, while inputattach itself supports many other peripherals. That requires a custom /etc/conf.d/inputattach, which however gets overwritten every time linuxconsole is updated.

I suggest to create a directory /etc/conf.d/inputattach.d/, and source-in all the scripts it contains in /usr/bin/inputattachctl, right after doing that for /etc/conf.d/inputattach.
