Hi list, I'm having a serious install problem. Trying to install a 5.1, clean instal= l.=20 Booting from the cd is no problem, i'm getting in the bootmenu. Starting th= e=20 hardware detection, no problem. But then arriving in Sysinstall, i can't us= e=20 my keyboard any more. It's a cordless usb keyboard. So in sysinstall there= 's=20 no way of choosing any option... If i boot into the bootpromt, i can type=20 there (taking option 6 : escape to loader prompt). =46rom the prompt, i can "enable-module ukbd", do a "load ukbd", even "set= =20 kbd_install_cdev=3DYES" is Ok. But then when doing a "boot" i get "ukbd mod= ule=20 failed to register 17". It's a cordless usb keyboard (and mouse) and there is no ps/2 plug in the=20 computer and yes, i checked the back of the computer :-) How do i get sysinstall to see my usb keyboard ? Don't leave me stuck with= =20 winxp, i would like my fbsd back please ! Thx ! Beni.
