Hi all,

I'm trying to install 5.3-STABLE on an HP Pavilion box I have laying =
around.  For some reason the installer is not handling the output from =
my KVM switch.  The model is IOGear MiniView(tm) II USB KVM
Model # GCS124U.

This model sends in the keyboard and mouse signal over a single USB port =
(which I thought was pretty cool, I hadn't heard of that before).  The =
PC itself seems to understand it, I can get into the BIOS before the =
installer starts, but sysinstall does not respond to keyboard input.  I =
am wondering if this is just an issue with the version of FreeBSD that =
boots from the install disk not having the right drivers, or what.  =
Anyone have any advice?

thanks,
Eric Reeves
