If I use a real Apple keyboard, or a keyboard that came with one of our Dell servers the problem doesn't occur. But, the keyboard that does have this problem works fine in OSX and the OF console on this server... very strange. :) >> 4) ZFS doesn't seem to be getting built...

I'm still digging through what's wrong here, I don't think the problem is where I thought it was originally. Completely wiping/reinstalling mysql made the problem go away. So, I'm looking at what else could be going on. -- Kevin
