I am currently attempting to install FreeBSD on an AlphaStation
200.  SRM is v7.0.  I have both the LK411 and PCXAL keyboards for
the alpha.  My problem is after successfully booting the kernel
floppy (and mfsroot) and the install shell has initialized, the
installer presents a menu of predefined terminal types.  My problem
is that once this menu has appeared, the keyboard no longer works.
the startup messages show the following:

atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
atkbdc0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0
atkbdc0: interrupting at ISA irq 1

I have tried both keyboards and a standard AT keyboard off my
PC.  All fail to work once the selection menu appears.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
