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!)  

Thanks
kevin
