I have a Digital Alpha200 station planned to be install with FREEBSD OS.
Firstly I am having the trouble of booting up at the main console, I used the
kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to boot up to begin the installation. Right after it
boot up with the prompt of terminal selection where you have 4 choices, my
keyboard give no response to the machine. Wonder why?
Secondly, alternatively, i used a serial port terminal to get the console
prompt. I am able to boot up and begin with installation process. But the only
thing is that I have the error message on installation which are from the
documentation files where i presume that it do no harm to the installation
process. Upon the end, where we suppose to put in root passwd, the process was
skipped, due to unknown reason. I tried to reboot after the installation, but
the OS does not even get boot up.

here's ther error msg after I reboot:

(boot dka0.0.0.6.0 -flags a)
block 0 of dka0.0.0.6.0 is a valid boot block
reading 15 blocks from dka0.0.0.6.0

*** keyboard not plugged in ...

*** keyboard not plugged in ...

So, how should i get the freebsd running?
Do we need to update the alpha station firmware ?
