I can get it to read both the floppies but after the kernel starts my keyboard stops working (i.e. when it gets to the part where it asks what sort of console I have I can't type anything). The kernel seems to see the keyboard controller okay (there are references in the startup messages to atkbdc0 and atkbd0 on IRQ1 as they should be). I have tried this both through my Cybex KVM switch and also with a standard keyboard. Does anyone have any what to do in this situation ?
