Can anyone point me to a good how-to or other resource for making a set 
of installation disks for a legacy free box.  In other words, I have 
several computers that only has USB mouse and keyboard, no parallel 
port, no serial ports.  (They do not have a place for any other 
keyboard.  So, please, don't suggest getting a different keyboard.) 
 When I try to install with the installation boot disk, everything works 
until I get to the installation menu.  At that point, I have no way of 
giving the computer input.  I have other FreeBSD machines that I could 
build a kernel or drivers on, I just don't know what needs added.  I 
tried compiling a kernel on another box and using it for the boot disk. 
 It recognized the USB keyboard, but I still could not use it.

Thanks.
