That's the symptom of having a USB keyboard - FreeBSD and OpenFirmware are both messing with USB registers, and phantom keystrokes are the result. I've seen this exact behaviour on my eMac when disabling syscons. Mmmm... it might be possible to create a mode where OpenFirmware is used for character output, but FreeBSD's USB kbd is used for input. I'll have a think about it. later, Peter.home | help
