The platform requires a USB keyboard driver (doesn't have a PS/2 port). It looks like the ia64 GENERIC kernel doesn't have usb or ukbd enabled. But the i386 GENERIC kernel *does* have it enabled. Is it possible to enable it in ia64 GENERIC kernel before the 5.0 release ? Of course, one can attach a serial console and make progress. -Arun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
