I cant switch terminals, and no keys have any effect. Im guessing that its a keyboard error rather than an actual error with sysinstall. I have seen similar reports on the web with keybaord errors in 5.3CURRENT, I presume this is similar, appart from the other errors I saw were when people tried to use two keyboards. If you need anymore details just let me know. >How-To-Repeat: Have 1 USB keyboard (1 usb mouse also), no PS/2 keybd or mouse. Boot the 5.3Beta7 i386 cd. When the installer appears, the keyboard does not respond. its impossible to get a dmesg or anything as I cant switch terminals or use the keyboard at all. >Fix: I got around it by booting 5.2RELEASE, and then installing from the 5.3 CD. After booting the 5.3 kernel the system works grand. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
