I'd love to get a dmesg, just need a way for the keyboard to work under BSD.rd. I was really asking if there were some tricks I could use at the 'boot>' to maybe change how the USB is getting driven. I have no PS2 port, only USB 3 for keyboard. I also have no serial ports, so redirecting console is not an option. > See the FAQ on how to capture it. Do you have a specific link that covers my specific situation? http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#getdmesg Mounting a writable drive requires the keyboard to work. Yeah? I have no serial ports I can redirect the console to. I gather I'm just dead in the water then. I assume the normal OS developer would debug under friendlier conditions. ;(
