I don't know if this matters but when the request When prompted Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh: comes, my keyboard didn't already show up in the kernel message, and the kernel still probe and attach devices after this message so the following output is printed : When prompted Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:uhub3: 6 ports with 6 removable, self powered uhub7: 8 ports with 8 removable, self powered ugen0.2: at usbus0 ukbd0: on usbus0 kbd1 at ukbd0 uhid0: on usbus0 ugen1.2: at usbus1 ubt0: on usbus1 ugen0.3: at usbus0 So here nothing possible to do, only shutdown by power button. I have heard a long time ago that legacy USB must be enabled in the BIOS and it is in mine. This is reproducible all the time on 8.2-RELEASE Cheers, -- David Demelier
