I've never encountered a system with USB keyboard that did not work in the loader. The emulation or whatever it was was set in the BIOS. And it worked in the BIOS. Worked when the OS got up to sysinstall, too. Just wouldn't work for the loader. Luckily, I didn't need to do anything but wait for it to boot, but I figured the BIOS was laughing at me behind my back... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then it still didn't work in the loader, and wouldn't work for the BIOS either (so I had to plugin a PS/2 keyboard to turn it back on). I don't think I let it boot long enough to see if the keyboard worked in sysinstall in that case; I presume it would. And the system's in production now, so I can't really fiddle with it anymore. It's got a Biostar (blech!) Socket A motherboard.

Question about the function spec_freeblks in 5.4
Hello, everyone. I happened to see the code of spec_freeblks , and I am curious if the code works in real world? In my opinion, it means to delete the content of blocks in special files. But I don't think it can finish this destination actually. Am I right? Cause as a newcomer to the source code, I am not quite confident about myself. Waiting for your advice. Thanks. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
