Kendra Electronic Wonderworks
>Environment:
System: 

	Clean FreeBSD 5.0 RC3 install on Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI
	UltraSparc IIi 333Mhz) OpenFirmware Console with monitor
	on system video adapter and standard Sun keyboard from hell
	(tm).


>Description:
	
	Attempted to install FReeBSD 5.0 RC3 on Sparc with system console.
	(OpenFirmware console and standard Sun keyboard).

	Install kernel prompt comes up with numerous choices for
	serial consoles, but none for the native console!  Various
	choices all fail -- some produce garbled output, others are
	readable but don't highlight text and don't parse basic
	keyboard operations (such as up arrow).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot FreeBSD 5.0 install CDROM on ultra Sparc with a real console.
