A race somewhere. From time to time, if I'm pressing keys during the early stages of boot, the keyboard will freeze. It's rare, and it only happens when I'm pressing keys during the early stages of boot. Alas, I have seen this happen before, with OS/2 Boot Manager, so I take it for granted. -- Daniel C.
