--Hushpart_boundary_ftlMxvkClRvmOCwildqhSifguDPIqmKl Content-type: text/plain How can I disable the 0x1 flags for the keyboard driver during installation? My previous post didn't get much of a reply. I tried installing FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE on a two year old computer, but encountered disk errors (ffs_clusteralloc: map mismatch) during installation that MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. The sad thing is, there's a critical PR for this problem, and no one seems to want anything to do with it. So I bought a _NEW_ computer for the purpose of installing FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, and now I have some stupid @!$!@#!@ keyboard problem that MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED. It works fine on every other OS I install, but that's unacceptable! I want FreeBSD! Before you reply, please realize that this is the INSTALLATION phase I'm going through, so I have no idea how to issue sysctls, apply ghastly kernel patches, or disable the damn 0x1 flags for the keyboard driver. Maybe someone could tell me how to make my own kern.flp or something. But only if you must -- sounds like a pain in the ass to me. If I can just get my keyboard to work (as it does during boot, up until the "kernel configuration screen"), I'm all set and I'll finally be able to enjoy FreeBSD as I have over the past year. I never have any complaints about a running FreeBSD system, so please help me get this installed once and for all ;-) I should've said in my last post that I'm using a PS/2 keyboard.
