What did you do, boot into the 2nd stage boot-loader and then set the console to serial console or just manual copy/paste transcribe? I have the unfortunate situation of having lots of these machines remotely installed and deployed with DRAC setup with which I planned to do the remote install of FBSD, but this bug is a serious show stopper. Moreover, the whole ActiveX client dependency is really absurd. Does anyone have the client working in FreeBSD/Linux/POSIX? Firefox anything even? I could deal with Java for remote console on DRAC4. With DRAC4's latest firmware, they had even fixed the really annoying "I'm going to stop accepting user input and insert a string of 128 of the last character in the buffer" bug. But now this... ~BAS >> /dev/kbdmux0: Device busy. >> pe1# kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbdmux0 < /dev/console >> kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/kbdmux0: Device busy >> >> trying to get info on the keyboards: >> ---- >> pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbdmux0 >> /dev/kbdmux0: Device busy. >> pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/ukbd0 >> /dev/ukbd0: Device busy. >> pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd0 >> /dev/kbd0: Device busy. >> pe1# kbdcontrol -i < /dev/console >> kbd0: >> kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2) >>
