Hello, I am trying to install FreeBSD 8.2-RC1 on a PowerMac G5[1]. The machine boots from the CD (disc1 image) when I press "C" on the keyboard, but after booting, when it shows the "Country Selection" dialog, the keyboard no longer works. How do I fix / workaround this problem? FWIW, i also tried with FreeBSD 8.1-release (both on CD and from a usb memory stick), the CD hung, the memory stick has the same problem as 8.2-RC1; the keyboard is not working when the "Country Selection" dialog shows up. Full details on the FreeBSD page[2] for this machine. References: 1) http://sites.google.com/site/tingox/powermac_g5 2) http://sites.google.com/site/tingox/powermac_g5_freebsd -- Torfinn
