Oh crap! I should have thought of that. I have a PMAG-AA. Doh! Well NetBSD supports it, I guess I can try serial console for the install and then play with it afterwards. The caps lock and such was working, so I guess I should have thought the console was unsupported. Do I add hte console parameter to the boot loader line (well the boot prompt line I guess)? I would assume so since that is where the -a parameter for netbsd is put. Thanks. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
