The keyboard and mouse are NOT supposed to be hot plugged if they are PS/2 (although I must admit I haven't had any issues, but I wouldn't risk a dead PS/2 controller on a production box). USB ones don't care. The neat thing about that is you can have your machine boot with no keyboard, you can plug in a USB one and then hook up a monitor and have a head all of a sudden. This is handy when your box's sshd dies for some reason, which has happened to me once... > > I've never had any issues, provided I set the option to NOT halt on > keyboard errors at boot in the bios. > > Best regards, > Greg Groth > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions- > unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > -- hackmiester (Hunter Fuller) <svinx> yknow when you go to a party, and everyones hooked up except one guy and one girl <svinx> and so they look at each other like.. do we have to? <svinx> intel & nvidia must be lookin at each other like that right now Phone Voice: +1 251 589 6348 Fax: Call the voice number and ask.
