I recently installed freebsd 5.2 on a local sunblade 100 system. I had several problems with keyboard input throughout the install, but I eventually made it though. The problems that I had were as follows: Slow response time with keypresses. I had to use ctrl + n or ctrl + p to move though menu options(the options never lit up completely, only blinked..enough to show me that they were currently selected). It was a terrible experience, but I made it through, but now I have another problem. Upon rebooting, my console input is incredibly slow. I press a key and it takes around 1/2 a second for the letter to appear. I read that I could use kbdcontrol to change key rates, but whenever I try to issue a command with it, it reports back the following error: "inappropriate ioctl for device". Any help is much appreciated. The slow speed is simply not tolerable. This is my first freebsd install and I hope it won't won't be the last. Thanks ahead of time.. Mike
