I'm attempting to install FreeBSD-4.3 on an Alphastation 200 4/233. I can
boot the CD from SRM without a hitch. However, when the installer starts
and prompts for terminal type, it doesn't respond to the keyboard. The
machine isn't hung, just that it doesn't listen to the keyboard.
I rebooted and ran it using a serial console. It hung at the same point,
but when I sent a break signal, it woke up. Given the choice I'd rather
not install from a dumb terminal because the menus render poorly, and
being a FreeBSD newbie, I need to be able to see what I'm doing. And I'd
like the VGA/KB console to work in any case.
I installed the latest (last) SRM available for this machine prior to
trying FreeBSD. I just don't see anything wrong with it. I've pasted a copy
of the system configuration below for your perusal. If someone would like
to see a boot dmesg I could probably capture that as well.
Thanks for any help!
