I just setup two computers, a 386-40 with DOS/WINDOWS and a Pentium-75 running
FreeBSD 2.0.5R.

They share the same monitor and keyboard via a 'little switch box'.

The problem is when I switch from/to the FreeBSD box. The input from
the keyboard gets messed up. If I run DOS/WINDOWS on both systems, I can
switch between them without any trouble. It seems to be related to switching
from/to FreeBSD.


At the login prompt, I type 'l' and I see '^L' on the screen. If I am
logged in and type 'd', it interprets it as '^D' and logs me out. I tried
switch to another screen via 'ALT-Fx' and it still is messed up.

Any ideas ??????
