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) ?
