in sys/i386/boot/biosboot/README.serial it says: - BOOT THE MACHINE. The boot block will probe for a keyboard on your system. If it fails to find one, you'll see a prompt appear on the terminal that looks something like this: No keyboard found. >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/7168 k of memory Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed. My system does not have a keyboard attached and at this point 'No keyboard found.' fails appear. The system boots up on the VGA display as it usually does. Using boot: /kernel -h it boots correctly via the serial console. I'm about to use the FORCE_COMCONSOLE option, but I like the idea of having a choice at boot time. What have I done wrong? I'm running a -current as of just before the sig 11 nightmare. Thanks, Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com
