Yes - an observation I had starting with FreeBSD 7 (still on my home desktop): The keyboard is sometimes detected during boot, and sometimes some time AFTER the login prompt is presented (which implies that I cannot log in to the system as the keyboard is logically not present); and in some few cases, I need to re-plugin the keyboard. The strange thing: I didn't have that behaviour on FreeBSD 5 (my home system until crash). It might have something to do with the work done at the USB subsystem. On FreeBSD 5, the mouse and keyboard resulted in this message: % dmesg | grep "^u[km]" ums0: Sun Microsystems Type 6 USB mouse, rev 1.00/1.02, addr 2, iclass 3/1 ums0: 3 buttons ukbd0: Sun Microsystems Type 6 USB keyboard, rev 1.00/1.02, addr 3, iclass 3/1 Since I moved to FreeBSD 7 (didn't use 6 at home), I just get this - on the SAME system: % dmesg | grep "^u[km]" ums0: <vendor 0x0430 product 0x0100, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.02, addr 2> on uhub1 ums0: 3 buttons. ukbd0: <vendor 0x0430 product 0x0005, class 0/0, rev 1.00/1.02, addr 3> on uhub1 Still everything works as before.
