If you shure you rebuilt the code, installed it (check the date of /boot files) and finaly installed new bootstrap with disklabel(8) (it's not enough to have a copy of files in /boot) then your system seems do not support open a20 gate function for the BIOS int 0x15 interface. Code just falls back to original hardware sequence. Sorry. I may suggest you to add one more method to open a20 gate via port 0x92 (ibm's pc features) or try to apply boot1.s.diff only and as I said in the previous post if you are lucky (your pc have a20 open by default) get the keyboard working. -- Alexander To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
