Then ran ran 'mergemaster' and basically created a disaster - Who wrote that arcane thing I ask! anyway, now - although the system boots fine, I only have keyboard up to where I can interrupt the boot. At that state - pre-boot I suppose - I have keyboard. If I then do the full boot, I have no keyboard. A mouse sure? but a dead keyboard. Now this is pretty useless :-) So I wondered if anyone had any good ideas how I can get in and get my keyboard back - and maybe even what I should be fixing anyway? This is not critical by the way. It's only an experimantal setup at present till I can learn all the pitfalls of cvsup 'ing the stable releases... one of which I have just stumbled over,,, thanks Robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
