>Description:
i belive that this bug appeared in the RELEASE-4.2
the installation process donīt show the Kernel Configuration Menu and
when show the sysinstall menu, the keyboard donīt work and canīt select
the different options.
the installation process is booted with floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot)
>How-To-Repeat:
how can i capure screens o text in that moment?
the installation process is booted with floppies (kern.flp and mfsroot)
in the first floppy (kern.flp) the keyboard work. so the leeds.
in the second, the keyboard donīt work.
part of my dmesg:
>Fix:
i find out a solution a little botch (itīs published in
www.eldemonio.org/acer.txt):
1) begin to install freebsd with a keyboard that work in freebsd.
2) changue the flags (0x1 --> 0x0) in kernel configuration.
compile the new kernel or save changues in the Kernel Configuration Menu
of the install procces (mfsroot.flp).
3) changue the keyboard by the ACER keyboard.
the ACER keyboard work well :) , but the leeds donīt work. :(
this solution isnīt very eficcient and i think that is a bug that can have
a easy solution. i hope that in the next release is resolved.
good look and my congratulations since Spain by to do the best operating
system. :)
