Also, after you install FreeBSD on the machine, give -v option to the boot command. (You hit space when you see "automatic boot in X seconds..." in the BTX loader, then type "boot -v".) When the system is up and running, review the file /var/run/dmesg.boot and locate the line: atkbd: keyboard ID 0xXXXX (XX) I would like to know the ID number. I also own an IBM Spacesaver keyboard (part # 1393278), and it's recognized by the boot block all right. My motherboard is MicroStar MS-6103 with the AWARD BIOS.
