Hi Kyle, I had to put a string in my rc.i386 file : kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 /dev/null I do not have keyboard access from once freebsd starts to boot IE after pressing "F1" in the boot manager. I get it back once rc.i386 has been run :o) Hope this helps, Kat. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.A.Q.
