When trying to install BreeBSD 5.2, I can't get past
the main Sysinstall screen. The system won't respond to keyboard
commands. I'm trying to install from CD purchased from BSD Mall. I use
hard drive trays on my computer and am writing this
my eComstation drive.
I've been able to glean from the messages that fly
by, this concerning the keyboard.
It is on IRQ1
keyboard attach attach returned 6
atkbd0 attach returned 6
It is an old IBM PS2 keyboard
Motherboard EPOX 8K5A2+
Chipset VIA KT333 AGPset (KT333 +
VT8235)
Video card ATI Radeon 9000
Hard Drive IBM DTTA-371010 E182115 HG
10.1 GB
CD-RW Plextor PX-W4824TA
Processor AMD Athlon XP 2400+
I went to the manual web pages and looked up the
returned 6 code. It said the device was not configured, essentially, it
said input or output on a special file referred to a device that did
not exist or made or made a request beyond the limits of the device.
I found nothing in the Handbook referring to this. Any
suggestions. There isn't much I can do if the the system
doesn't respond to the keyboard. As you can see the keyboard works
fine. It also works fine with my Linux drive. Thank you.
