But that's hardly a solution. I want to have FreeBSD fixed so that dirty workarounds like this are not needed. To even install FreeBSD on this box, you need to jump through hoops: - create a customized boot floppy without USB support - boot the customized floppy (slow) - install through the network - alternatively, setup a PXE boot with a custom kernel - complicated After installation you need to remotely login as your keyboard again won't work because a GENERIC kernel with USB will be installed. Then you add kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd2 to your startup files. All this is extremely clumsy. What if FreeBSD crashes and you land in single user mode? You're screwed, because /etc/rc.local doesn't run. So you need to put it into your shells startup file. Clumsy. Errorprone. So - I want this fixed once and for all. I'm sure there already are and there will be more hardware like this and if FreeBSD wants to be a server operating system, it needs to support new hardware, not have more clumsy workarounds. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
