But I have been unable to do that since it looks like FreeBSD 5.1 doesnt recognize the keyboard when it hasnt loaded the kernel. I then tried to install FreeBSD 4.8 and it worked like a charm with the USB keyboard. My first question is; Why isnt there support for a USB Keyboard during the installation of FreeBSD 5.1 and during the boot up process as well? I am unable to use it in the boot screen of FreeBSD 5.1. My second question is; I have been able to get the usb keyboard working in FreeBSD after help in the question mailing list, but when I use it I tend to every now and then get the same character again, this happens most often when im typing fast. I gues this is common knowledg but since Im new in current and new to using USB Keyboard in FreeBSD and I havent found much searching in Google. Is there a way to stop it or is it a bug in the USB source for FreeBSD, or just me. Mostly intrested in the status of this. Im running FreeBSD 5.1 release #0 with Generic kernel.
