I know that it is actually supported, but I'm still facing a big problem. When I start my installation with the first boot disk "kernel" ... my computer hangs after the following messages: /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader boot: BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 -- stops right here -- Well I already figured out that my keyboard isn't supported. So I started with the boot option (-h). Which actually works. (it continues loading till disk change) But as soon as I have to change to the next boot disk "mfsroot", I have to press enter to confirm. And that's actually my problem. Cause my keyboard is at that point still not working (even with -h) so I can't confirm the disk change and my installation stops here. But I was already able to install it once ... cause as long as the disk is loading, my keyboard is actually working ... so I just have to be fast enough to change disk and press enter within a second. But that means redoing the entire procedure for about an hour!!! So please if anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. Thank you very much!
