I was about to respond to my OP, but you beat me to it. I'm running another copy of 8.3 (albeit on an AMD64), and was comparing installed files, and noticed _exactly_ that which you so _rightly_ pointed out; the absence of kbd && mouse drivers. I can't figure why they didn't get installed this time. I tried pretty hard to follow the same path as my last install. D'OH! Anyway, thank you again Ian. I _really_ appreciate it. --Chris > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
