As a workaround, select ``Escape to loader prompt'' in the boot loader menu and enter the following lines at the prompt: set hint.atkbd.0.flags=3D"0x1" boot Note that if you use the boot floppies, this is set by default. After the installation, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf: hint.atkbd.0.flags=3D"0x1" -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
