Hi!

I have some trouble using keyboards (both PS/2 and/or USB) on our 15 new 
PE 1850's. The installation goes fine (the PS/2 works, USB does not) and 
single user works OK (with PS/2), but normal boot does not work, it 
seems it attaches the keyboard to the DRAC cards (it identifies itself 
as ukbd0). I found a post regarding this 
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/038879.html). 


My question is then, is there anyway I can make this work so I can use a 
regular keyboard (PS/2 or USB) and the DRAC, maybe by fixing so when i 
attach a USB it disconnectes the DRAC and attaches the USB ?. Disable 
the keyboard for the DRAC is something I don't want to do since the 
reason we bought DRACS to them is the possibility to control them 
remote, I have some pressure of people wanting us to run RedHat on them 
and I don't want to be forced to do that becuase of this stupid little 
thing.

Kind Regards,
Stefan Cars
