Hi, I'm upgrading my 486 firewall from 3.3 to 4.2 (just reinstalling from scratch), but during the installation process, my 5-pin keyboard hangs, even though it works fine under 3.3. My other two computers (P90 and Celeron 466) worked fine. I used the same floppies on my P90 during installation. I use the kern.flp disk...it seems fine, beeps and asks me to insert the mfsroot.flp disk. I hit enter...great, keyboard still works. The boot loader gives me the 10 second countdown. I can stop it and do some poking around (if I want). I type "boot" and hit Enter. It bypasses the kernel config screen (presumably because the keyboard isn't working by that point) and goes to the main blue install screen. I've watched it carefully after I type "boot", and the Num Lock key stops lighting the LED before the next Copyright notice appears. It would appear this is the point after which the keyboard becomes non-responsive. Here are some particulars from my 3.3 logs: Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz CPU: i486DX (486-class CPU) real memory = 8388608 (8192K bytes) avail memory = 5955584 (5816K bytes) Preloaded elf kernel "kernel.plinth" at 0xc0282000.

Any information you could provide would be great. Thanks, Brad To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
