When trying to boot from either the CD or a floppy, I get a message "Keyboard: No" and the system stops. Of course there is a keyboard and it works fine (and I have tried several models). It just seems that the FreeBSD installer does not like it. The system is a newly built Athlon with an MSI Pro motherboard, if that is a factor. Other bootable CDs (Redhat Linux) work fine. Any suggestions are appreciated.
