My > suggestion is to enable usbd in the next releases. Did you check the 5.3-RELEASE Errata (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/errata.html)? Specifically: (31 Oct 2004, updated on 5 Nov 2004) For FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64, when installing FreeBSD 5.3 using an USB keyboard the keyboard will stop working once the kernel boots, because a PS/2 keyboard is always considered to be attached. As a workaround, select ``Escape to loader prompt'' in the boot loader menu and enter the following lines at the prompt: set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" boot Note that if you use the boot floppies, this is set by default. After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" In other words, this should be fixed in future releases. Jon
