Hi,

I'm upgrading my 486 firewall from 3.3 to 4.2 (just reinstalling from
scratch), but during the installation process, my 5-pin keyboard
hangs, even though it works fine under 3.3.  My other two computers
(P90 and Celeron 466) worked fine.  I used the same floppies on my P90
during installation.

I use the kern.flp disk...it seems fine, beeps and asks me to insert
the mfsroot.flp disk.  I hit enter...great, keyboard still works.

The boot loader gives me the 10 second countdown.  I can stop it and do
some poking around (if I want).  I type "boot" and hit Enter.

It bypasses the kernel config screen (presumably because the keyboard
isn't working by that point) and goes to the main blue install screen.

I've watched it carefully after I type "boot", and the Num Lock key
stops lighting the LED before the next Copyright notice appears.  It
would appear this is the point after which the keyboard becomes
non-responsive.

Here are some particulars from my 3.3 logs:

I tried replacing the keyboard with another one, but that keyboard
behaved the same as the first.

Any information you could provide would be great.

Thanks,
  Brad
