Ok, tried the other USB ports. I waited a bit longer this time, and eventually got something similar to: menukey not found /boot/menu.rc Then a bunch of odd characters, and the keyboard detached. Before hitting Enter on the install screen, I observed that my Num Lock key was lit and that I could turn it on and off, then Enter... nothing for quite some time, then the error above. I wonder if there's something wrong with my install media? Joshua On Mon, Apr 7, 2014 at 6:27 PM, Joshua Lokken <jrlokken@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Erich, > > Absolutely nothing.
