Hello, FreeBSD 2.1R (using InfoMagic cd) installation on IBM VP disables the keyboard - yes, kills it completely! My custom kernel has the entry from LINT for the PS/2 mouse with "conflicts" designated. Boot finds both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse just fine: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ... psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard During boot, the NumLock key toggles the LCD a few times but stops working prior to loading the console driver. After boot, no keyboard key is active. Telnet sessions from other machines work fine and login messages get displayed on the telnet server console - the IBM V/P. Strange! My questions is "How anyone solved this problem"? Thanks for any assistance. As info, the VP is an ISA machine with a 486DX66 cpu. This one has 16MB and two WD 540 drives; first drive has DOS/WIN3.1 and Linux partitions; second drive has DOS/WIN3.1 and FreeBSD partitions; using lilo as the boot manager. Also has Panasonic 2X CD-ROM. Runs Linux and DOS/WIN3.1. I have tried to get this running for a couple of weeks. After this week, the FreeBSD space goes to Windows NT if a this problem persists.
