Well, I made a mistake of buying a "next-gen" motherboard with no PS/2 connectors... USB and firewire only. FWIW, it's an Abit IT-7 Max. It's a reasonably nice mobo, but... Now FreeBSD-5.x does boot up on this and has no problem with the USB keyboard if my BIOS setting for the USB keyboard support is "OS". However, in this case BootMgr does not see the keyboard. If I change the BIOS setting for USB Keyboard support to "BIOS", then BootMgr is happy with the keyboard, but not FreeBSD. Any ideas? # uname -a FreeBSD kamikaze.chileheads.org 5.1-BETA FreeBSD 5.1-BETA #0: Sat May 17 15:29:48 PDT 2003 root_at_kamikaze.chileheads.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GENERIC i386 FYI, 4.8-STABLE did not have a problem with seeing the keyboard when the keyboard support was set to "BIOS". Nor does NetBSD-1.6.1. -- <rsi_at_panix.com> a.k.a. Rajappa Iyer. Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.Received on Thu May 22 2003 - 19:24:25 UTC
