That is, if you try to boot 5.3-RC1 on a machine with only USB keyboard support, the keyboard will stop working once the kernel boots. This is due to an over-zealous atkbd driver. >How-To-Repeat: Try to use a USB keyboard to install FreeBSD 5.3-RC1 (or 4.10 for that matter) >Fix: On obrien's request (or challenge), attached is a patch that adds a USB keyboard option to the Beastie boot menu. Selecting this option boots with the hint.atkbd.0.flags set to 0x1. This enables the USB keyboard in sysinstall. It would be good to get this into 5.3, as the machine onto which I installed FreeBSD was a Dell OptiPlex GX280, and there are other "mainstream" computers out there without PS/2 ports. The idea to set this flag was given by Vladimir Grebenschikov <vova@fbsd.ru> and Johan Larsson <johan@ludd.luth.se>. --- beastie.4th.diff begins here --- --- beastie.4th.orig Wed Oct 27 13:57:48 2004 +++ beastie.4th Wed Oct 27 13:57:43 2004 @@ -40,6 +40,7 @@ variable bootkey variable bootacpikey +variable bootusbkey variable bootsafekey variable bootverbosekey variable bootsinglekey @@ -155,6 +156,7 @@ else -2 bootacpikey ! then + printmenuitem ."
