The system won't respond to keyboard commands. I'm trying to install from CD purchased from BSD Mall. I use hard drive trays on my computer and am writing this my eComstation drive. I've been able to glean from the messages that fly by, this concerning the keyboard. It is on IRQ1 keyboard attach attach returned 6 atkbd0 attach returned 6 It is an old IBM PS2 keyboard Motherboard EPOX 8K5A2+ Chipset VIA KT333 AGPset (KT333 + VT8235) Video card ATI Radeon 9000 Hard Drive IBM DTTA-371010 E182115 HG 10.1 GB CD-RW Plextor PX-W4824TA Processor AMD Athlon XP 2400+ I went to the manual web pages and looked up the returned 6 code. It said the device was not configured, essentially, it said input or output on a special file referred to a device that did not exist or made or made a request beyond the limits of the device. I found nothing in the Handbook referring to this. Any suggestions. There isn't much I can do if the the system doesn't respond to the keyboard. As you can see the keyboard works fine. It also works fine with my Linux drive. Thank you.
