Using the standard biosboot, I am having problems selecting
the kernel (the bootstrap does not respond to keyboard activity
at all.)  I can boot /kernel, but that is it.  Before boot,
I can configure the bios, with no problems.  After boot, freebsd
works fine.

Does anyone have any pointers or suggestions for solving this
problem?  I am dead until this thing is fixed (all I will
venture to do is to boot my existing kernel :-(.)
