I’m struggling with my first install of FreeBSD (4.9 from CDROM). I can find my way around the kernel config (visual and cli) but when I quit this, the sysinstall menu appears and my keyboard is dead (reset button doesn't work either). I have tried to supply as much relevant information as possible from Windows98 that is currently installed, and put what I see from an “ls” in cli kernel config mode in “[..]”. I’m looking for some advice to move forward – likely problem areas / other debug I can obtain that might help. I’m more experienced with redhat, and if I try booting that in text mode it dies as soon as it tries to boot the kernel.
