Some time ago, I put Plan 9 on a machine with a USB mouse and somebody was able to help me add a few lines to plan9.ini to make it work. Now I've switched from PS/2 to USB keyboard on a machine with an existing Plan 9 installation. Is there a similar incantation that will make this keyboard work? (GRUB and Linux see it OK.)
AFAIK Plan 9 doesn't support USB keyboards. However, a lot of BIOSes have some sort of "legacy" option to present a USB keyboard to the OS as if it were PS2. But, the fact that the keyboard works in grub suggests your BIOS is already doing this (at least I didn't have any luck getting grub to respond to a USB keyboard). Not sure why you're then running into problems when Plan 9 boots... Maybe the BIOS hands off responsibility after the OS initialises USB or something - worth a look through the BIOS menus.
