im having some problems with setting up my system first off would be the problem with my keyboard. i dont know whats wrong so ill just explain what happened and what i did keyboard:- popped in the freebsd bootable cd. no problems untill "press enter to boot kernel immediately or ..." i can press enter there and if i press any other key i can still type. but when i press enter nothing happens when it tries to load the kernel or something. and since this is the install it doesnt even do the hardware conflict thing and jumps straight to /stand/sysinstall. now i tried installing freebsd with my friends keyboard and thats okay now. but when iboot into freebsd samething happens. the cursor at the login prompt doesnt even blink. but when i plugin my friends keyboard and let freebsd boot and change keyboards later at the login its okay and it works. the problem im having ismuch like the one here : http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=337278+0+archive/2000/freebsd-questions/20001217.freebsd-questions another question i have is how do i setup my graphic card in Xfre86? im using a nvidia geforce2-mx-400. the board makers arent listed so i decided to checkup nvidia(generic). i only found nvidia 256 & nvidia ddr. i am using xfree86 3.3.6 on freebsd 4.3. im using an epox 8k7a3pro motherboard and a diamond keyboard from mitsubishi australia(im not to sure but it is a ps2 keyboard). __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
