The hardware is: Dell Optiflex GXL 5166 (166MHz P5 PCI/ISA) 32M real memory 3Com 3C509 Etherlink III 16-bit ethernet card Adaptec 1542C SCSI card 1.0G IBM SCSI disk (originally from an RS6000/370) S3 Trio64+ video adapter (built into motherboard) IDE controller (in motherboard) w/ Quantum 2.0G (not used by FreeBSD) PS/2 style mouse (have tried booting with and without psm0) another 3C509 ethernet card (in motherboard, not used by FreeBSD) 3.5" floppy drive System Commander is installed (I occasionally need OS/2 or Win95 which reside on the IDE disk). The install went smoothly and the system boots fine and recognizes all the hardware for which I have the kernel configured. Shortly after it finishes booting (and not coincident with any other event I can think of) the system stops responding to all keyboard input, just as if the keyboard had been unplugged. I can still login across the network and everything else seems healthy. I can echo something to /dev/ttyv0 and it shows up there, and I can kill the process at that terminal and init spawns a new getty just fine. The same problem existed before I switched from the GENERIC kernel to one that I customized to my machine. I have included the output of dmesg below in case it would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
