One way to slide past it is that the mountroot prompt accepts a '.' to spin around the kernel for a second or so to complete various background tasks. It's meant to allow finishing probing drives etc, but on systems I've tried it also works for letting the USB stack pick up the keyboard. Of course, using this as a workaround is severely diluted by the fact that you need a working keyboard to run the hack to get the keyboard working ;) But something in the spirit of the original patch would be a real nice plus; this bites me on a regular (rare, but still regular) basis... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
