I don't use geli, but my usb keyboard isn't recognized until about halfway through the boot process. It works for BIOS setup and after boot, but it doesn't work during the boot menu stage. I don't know enough to know what the problem is, but that might help someone else limit where the problem is. You might want to try a minimal installation without geli and see if that is also true for you. If it is the same problem, then it has been around for a while since mine is running 9.1-RELEASE. My keyboard is actually a wireless usb one, but that is probably no different than regular usb. -- Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
