it looks to me like the man page is not in sync with the faq. i'll submit a patch for that. i'd go with what the manpage says. please read the manpage. it contains much better instructions that the excerpts here: you need to compile your kernel with options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV. you need to cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV kbd0 kbd1 you need to remove the device atkbd line from the kernel you need to run: kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null as the system boots, in something like your /etc/rc.local -Adam >> (07.23.2002 @ 2234 PST): Ed Yu said, in 1.6K: << > I already have kbd0 kbd1 but NO ukbd0.
