You'll want to set the rc.conf variable "keyboard" to /dev/kdb1 so it uses the DRAC keyboard by default. -- Brooks >=20 > Kind Regards, > Stefan Cars >=20 >=20 > Brooks Davis wrote: > >On Wed, Dec 22, 2004 at 08:49:43PM +0100, Stefan Cars wrote: > > > >>Hi! > >> > >>I have some trouble using keyboards (both PS/2 and/or USB) on our 15 ne= w=20 > >>PE 1850's.
