Cold boot or warm boot?

FreeBSD's keyboard probes are really obnoxious; on PC-class
hardware, it should leave the damn things where the BIOS
puts them.

FreeBSD has problems with a number of Belkin switches, and
while the newer firmware (1.9) works on the smaller switches
when FreeBSD is not actively selected, the bigger ones still
puke FreeBSD out and make it lose the keyboard and mouse,
and the remote ones really don't work at all.

No problem with NT, Linux, Windows, etc. (of course).
