Hi Douglas,

How exactly does your reply contribute to our goal of getting FreeBSD to 
respond to my keyboard? 

If your conspiracy theory is correct, then Linux must also have a part in 
the deal, because my keyboard works fine under various distributions of 
it. As does OpenBSD. I am not antagonizing FreeBSD, however, because it 
_is_ my favorite operating system. I just wish I could pass the installation 
procedure.
