I apologise for this repeat question (original appearance on this list was
early July '98)
Some months ago I discovered that FreeBSD 2.2.6 really didn't like my
keyboard. It whinged about not being able to set the command byte of sc0
then was dead at the pretty coloured install screen. Why remains a mystery
given a lack of any trouble with linux or expensive excuses for operating
systems.
Doug White helpfuly suggested setting some flags which unfortunately
didn't solve the problem.
I'd really like to run a *BSD on this machine as it is destined to be a
gateway to the world.
Does FreeBSD 3.0 have a more tolerant keyboard driver (I suggest lifting
it from linux).
Will I get exactly the same problem with say OpenBSD (which might be
better for the job in hand anyway) ?
Jon
