I have an HP ProLiant ML110 G6 Server on which I've installed and configured FreeBSD v7.4-RELEASE. Though the computer auto-boots uneventfully, I have never been able to interact with the boot loader as no keyboard action is, while it's resident, recognized. I have tried a number of different keyboards (101-key, 102-key, 104-key; PS/2, USB; with and without interface adapters) without result. I find that if I attempt, continuously while booting, to toggle (for example) the CapsLock key that there is a period during the boot process where the associated CapsLock LED ceases toggling in response. The period begins at the moment the boot manager's boot-slice selection is satisfied (either via user action or timeout). The period ends midway through the loading of the kernel; perhaps as early as status message ... kernel: kbd2 at ukbd0 but, certainly, no later than status message ... kernel: sc09: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0 though it's difficult to discern as they go by quickly. Any suggestions as to how this might be resolved would be appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Keyboard-Curiosity-tp5586073p5586073.html Sent from the freebsd-proliant mailing list archive at Nabble.com.home | help
