I don’t know either. Is there a write-up on this?

I do know that I can only use password to log into my BSD box
successfully, not keyboard-interactive, so they are not equivalent.

Ah!  If I understood correctly you /should/ be able to use
'keyboard-interactive:bsdauth' to log into your BSD box.  The
keybaord-interactive authentication method has at least two
sub-methods (called 'devices')... pam and bsdauth.

I think to fully understand there's nothing to it but to read
some source code.
