My only obstacle was getting a keyboard attached to the console - by default it would boot up to sysinstall just fine but the keyboard wouldn't work. (It was detected, but not attached.. i.e. caps lock, etc would work but sysinstall wasn't getting any input.) Using a 6.0-BETA or RC disk (I don't remember which one), I wasn't able to get around this. However, using 6.0-RELEASE I was able to use the builtin keyboard by disabling atkbd0 AND atkbdc0 in the loader. Loading the kbdmux module may or may not be helpful--I didn't end up needing it. Once installed (and with sshd running as a backup), I updated to -STABLE and built a custom kernel that does not include atkbdc, atkbd, or psm. It works fine. (And it's especially nice with a VESA 1024x768 mode in syscons.) JN
