>Description:
I am trying to install from CD on a new computer that does not provide ps/2 keyboard ports, so usb keyboards are the only option. Looking at the man page for ukbd(4) says that such a configuration is not supported by default. It's kind of hard to do that first install without a keyboard :-)

Thanks
