Hello I tried to install FreeBSD on my new desktop, which has a USB keyboard and mouse. It does not seem to recognize my keyboard and therefore does not go into the kernel configuration, where I need to remove the atkbd0 to enable the USB keyboard(From webpages). Thus, I am unable to continue the installation in the regualar way. To get around this problem, I plugged in a ps/2 keyboard (additional - so there are two keyboards on the machine) and then installed FreeBSD. I would like to know if there is a simpler way(not adding keyboards) or a distribution which actually allows the use of FreeBSD keyboards. Another related problem is with the mouse. In the installation process it asks whether there is a USB mouse attached. It is however not functioning in the X configuration. I would really appreciate any help regarding the above two matters. Since I am not subscribed to the list, please cc the replies to the sender.
