A local hacker has a Thinkpad 720(?) and is trying to install FreeBSD on it, it seems to be freaking on his keyboard so I am trying to put pcvt in as the default console driver with SCANSET 2. I'm having a devil of a time just making the #*(&#&(#^#$*#$(@#9^$@(*#^(*@&)$@(@) floppy. Preferably without building the rest of the world, a release, etc. What is the correct procedure? Thanks, ...
