Heh magic is the right word ;) According to what I have found it is supposed to be: console="vidconsole" To make it still choose internal console even if it does not find a keyboard present at boot time. So you can walk up later and connect a keyboard and have it work. Everytime I asked on the lists I got.. Oh go look here for the answer. Which I had.. to which I got, oh well the answers in there.. No one ever was able to say DO THIS. Let alone anyone saying do this and have it work :( If you find the Magic please do let me know :) Nicole > Scott > > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" |\ __ /| (`\ | o_o |__ ) ) // \\ - nicole@daemontech.com - Powered by FreeBSD - ------------------------------------------------------ " Daemons" will now be known as "spiritual guides" -Politically Correct UNIX Page "Witchcraft is in essence the worship of the powers of this world, beautiful and terrible, but all in a circle under the turning sky that is the One." -C.A.
