	FreeBSD gw1.pl.cp 3.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT #2: Sun Jan 10 23:52:23 PST 1999 root@gw1.pl.cp:/pubfs/1/root/usr.src/sys/compile/GW-PL i386
 
>Description:

	The new boot loader (specifically boot2) will not load
/boot/loader unless a keyboard is plugged into the system.  It just sits
down displaying a stopped spinbar, and resumes normal operation as soon
as the keyboard is plugged back in.

>How-To-Repeat:

	On a -current system, unplug the keyboard and reboot.

>Fix:

	None known yet.
