So nobody has ever had this situation, ever? I find that hard to believe. It's been said that sometimes the best way to get support is to exclaim that "$FOO can do this but $BAR can't, $BAR sucks!" at which point you will have people tripping over each other to offer help, however that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I'll ask again: - How does one prevent FreeBSD from using a keyboard which doesn't really exist? I've tried what seems like sensible hints. variables before booting, but it seems to ignore them. - Failing the above, how does one use a serial console for installation? The method provided in the freebsd handbook can't be used as the machine is question doesn't have a floppy drive.
