Hi, back in the 3.x days It was possible to attach a keyboard later to a system after it was booted up and having it working. If I'm not mistaken this was possible via a boot(8) switch. I can't find a switch in the man page which reads like it does that now. Can someone tell me if it is still possible and maybe what to do? I know that this is sth. you shouldn't do since PS/2 isn't "Plug&Play" but I don't want to attach a keyboard to each system I've running (I even don't have so much keyboards). I only need this in case the system got some problems like my swapper was telling me sth. this night on console but I was unable to find out more since the only thing which worked via network was ping. -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/
