This sounds like a known limitation of our boot block. See below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Q: When I try to boot the install floppy, I see the following message
and nothing seems to be happening. I cannot enter anything from
the keyboard either.
Keyboard: no
A: Due to lack of space, full support for old XT/AT (84-key) keyboards
is no longer available in the bootblocks. Some notebook computers may
also have this type of keyboard. If you are still using this kind of
hardware, you will see the above message appears when you boot from
the CD-ROM or an install floppy.
As soon as you see this message, hit the space bar, and you will see
the prompt:
>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: x:xx(x,x)/boot/loader
boot:
Then enter `-Dh', and things should proceed normally.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have heard that this problem exists on some motherboards even if the
keyboard is not one of those old models.
