When I booted the system using the boot floppy, the system locked up at: /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no - BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 At this point, the boot loader accessed the floppy for several seconds with nothing more being displayed then stopped. I tried 3.3 boot floppies with identical results. I installed an IDE CDROM drive and booted 3.3 from the CDROM, again with the same results. This system had previously had 3.1 install via boot from the Walnut Creek 3.1 CDROM. The keyboard then installed was an anchient 84-key keyboard which worked fine under 3.1. The keyboard was swapped with a 101-key keyboard, the loader reported "Keyboard: yes" and the install proceeded normally. >How-To-Repeat: The install boot loader failed consistently with the 84-key keyboard attached. >Fix: I don't actually think it is worth fixing. The work around is to replace dinosaur keyboards with newer ones. However, this problem should be documented which is my sole purpose for submitting this PR. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: jhb State-Changed-When: Mon Jun 19 10:40:07 PDT 2000 State-Changed-Why: This is not quite a duplicate, but it is the same problem as in i386/17391 and will be fixed when that PR is fixed. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=17630 >Unformatted:
