I'm using a serial console. Now, when i boot the installation disk (off one of the hd's none the less), it switches back over to the graphics console, and when it gets to asking which terminal type you want (press 1,2,3,4), it doesn't recognize keyboard input anymore. I was hoping it would all be over the serial console, so i could use the keyboard on the other computer, but....... anyway, the kernel says it finds an "atkbd0", implying an AT keyboard. I'm using a PS2 keyboard. Would this have anything to do with it? In any case, is there anything i can do about this? right before the terminal select (1,2,3,4) menu, it says "/stand/sysinstall running as init on serial console". this DOESN'T show up on my serial console... infact, NOTHING shows up on my serial console, after it does the bootstrap. Can anything be done for this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
