Modified files:
sys/i386/conf GENERIC.hints
Log:
Fix booting with ps2 keyboards.
Revision Changes Path
1.13 +0 -1 src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints

you could boot up without a PS/2 keyboard and then plug it in, at the cost of
breaking all uses of USB keyboards unless you use explicit kbdcontrol
commands. The instant-MFC was backed out of RELENG_4 at the request of re@
due to POLA.
