Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was wondering if there is a flag to force the kernel to detect a PS/2 keyboard even if it doesn't detect one. The usual answer is 'set atkbdc flags to 0x0' but you can't do that if you are installing for the first time - when you boot -c the config prompt is printed in an infinite loop :( The newer keyboards I have (Mitsubishi Diamond Touch) do not get detected by FreeBSD so every time I need to install from a base CD I have to dig up my detectable keyboard and hot swap it after the detection phase. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
