The following problem has occurred several times with 2.0-9504120-SNAP
on Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V:

FreeBSD boots successfully and presents the login prompt.
Typing then has no effect, nor can I use Alt-Fn to switch virtual
consoles.  I can login to the system using telnet from a remote host.
wall(1) has no effect on the console, nor has shutdown(8), although
the system seems to shutdown correctly.

The problem seems usually to occur immediately after power-on.

I'm not too distressed about this, trying again usually sorts it.

Hopefully the information will be useful to you.  Let me know if
you want more details.

Thankyou!

iain
