Some of you had indicated that you were using vt0 instead...I tried this and didn't like it so I was motivated to fix the more familiar sc0 device. The diff stuff follows: I've also gotten my "broken" MB to boot by hacking some of the boot code, although I don't have a tech doc on kb controllers so I woudn't consider the fixes for general use. I want to thank all that helped me to get these problems resolved. Thanks, dennis diff file for /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/syscons.c follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- 177c177 < if (!retries) --- > if (retries < 0)
