In other words, I have several computers that only has USB mouse and keyboard, no parallel port, no serial ports. (They do not have a place for any other keyboard. So, please, don't suggest getting a different keyboard.) When I try to install with the installation boot disk, everything works until I get to the installation menu. At that point, I have no way of giving the computer input. I have other FreeBSD machines that I could build a kernel or drivers on, I just don't know what needs added. I tried compiling a kernel on another box and using it for the boot disk. It recognized the USB keyboard, but I still could not use it. Thanks.
