Hello Eric, > 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. I have a IOGear MiniView KVM too and when I tired to install FreeBSD 5.3, I had the same problem. After I did a little googleing, I found the answer. When you first boot with FreeBSD 5.3 bootable CD-ROM, wait for the FreeBSD boot menu to appear and choose option number 6. Then at the OK prompt, type the following and hit the enter key. set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" Note the Quote makes are needed. At the next OK prompt, type boot And the system should boot to sysinstall menu where you will find the USB keyboard working. At least that is what work for me. Hope this helps, Andrew
