You can get a listing by typing 'ls' or ? for a list of options (typically it is kernel or kernel.GENERIC). Unfortunately, I have not ran into your keyboard problem, so hopefully someone else on the list can help you with that error. Hope this helps some...

The problem is:
After creating the installation = > floppies, I=20 > try to boot from them. A few

/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: no

Then the system = > continues=20 > with the process but fails after about one minute.

If I prompt the machine just after she came = > up with=20 > the "Keyboard: no"

prompt:
>> FreeBSD/i386 = > BOOT

boot:

At this point I don't know how to=20 > continue: I can enter a value f.ex. "DOS"
