>Number: 12738 >Category: misc >Synopsis: Boot loader doesn't recognize IBM Spacesaver keyboard >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Jul 21 09:10:00 PDT 1999 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Bob Willcox >Release: 3.2 >Organization: Power Micro Resarch >Environment: This happens on 3.2-RELEASE and several versions of 4.0-current snaps that I tried. >Description: When booting the kern floppy the boot loader displays "Keyboard: no" then refuses to boot (hangs after printing the BTX loader version msg). This is with one of the small IBM (Lexmark) keyboards (the ones without the numeric keypad and lights). Changing to a full-sized keyboard allows the boot to proceed. >How-To-Repeat: Install one of the Spacesaver keyboards and attempt to boot the kern floppy. >Fix: Workaround is to replace the Spacesaver keyboard with a full-sized one. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
