The output from "dmesg" would help (the whole thing please, don't trim it).
"usbdevs -v" would also be good to have.

If they are connected to a controller attached as XHCI (USB-3), as Stefan
mentioned, they won't work. Sometimes there might be a BIOS setting to disable
USB-3 and use USB-2 instead, which may help. Or you can disable the xhci
driver in the kernel, sometimes the controller will attach as USB-2 instead,
sometimes it won't attach at all (which can be a problem if your keyboard needs
it). Anyway that's worth a try - at the "boot>" prompt type "boot -c", then
type "disable xhci" and "quit" if you can still type at that point.

This would normally look something like

ttyU0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt420 on  secure

But you could maybe try "cuaU0" instead of "ttyU0" if you are having
problems with hardware control lines (read the tty(4) manual for an
explanation of the differences).
