Okie, tried to change it to flags=0x10, but it still crashed. :< I have searched thru the mailing list archive, and found someone mentioned about it. The solution is to add the below options to the kernel. # Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint # This PCVT option is for keyboards such as those used on IBM ThinkPad laptops options PCVT_SCANSET=2 # IBM keyboards are non-std Now the problem is, how can I build a custom bootfloppy? With those options enabled in the kernel. (I really dont wish to throw away this thinkpad!)
