However, my first=20 install (on a KVM switch with an ASUS A7A266 ) had the same problem--a=20 lockup. Solved it by simply popping in another keyboard, a cheaper one,=20 actually. Do you have another keyboard with which you can try it? Also if you are doing it through a KVM, try attaching the keyboard=20 directly to the box, rather than through the KVM (though I suspect if you=20 were using a KVM, you would have mentioned it) :) HTH Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
