From the sounds of it, you have an Intel UHCI controller, which means that to get FreeBSD to see your keyboard as the first one, you will need to disable the USB Legacy support (othewrise FreeBSD sees both the legacy keyboard that the BIOS fakes and the USB keyboard giving precedence to the legacy keybaord which goes away when we probe the USB controller). This has the downside that you won't be able to use the keyboard in any of the bootstrap. The kernel's userconfig is another problem. For now, use a PS/2 keyboard to do the install, and then use a USB keyboard after installation. > Several days later, however, as I tried to do the real install, I could use > the USB keyboard on the initial kernel configuration screens but then lost > the ability to use the keyboard after the actual kernel booted (no matter > which config options were chosen). > > During the boot process, I can see: > > uhub0: port 1 power on failed, IOERROR > uhub0: port 2 power on failed, IOERROR > > By the time I get to the /stand/sysinstall Main Menu, I can't type a thing. > Is this an IRQ issue?
