>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.
