Re: no keyboard after boot
Hi Ruben, Thanks for the pointers. I have been searching google and the archives, but it looks like I may have been using keywords that were too general.

Keyboard problems (connecting keyboard after boot)
Hi! I would like to be able to connect the keyboard after boot. It seems this is the way the ERA (Enhanced Remote Access) works on our Dell machines, is it possible to get this work ? I've seen somewhere that if the PS/2 isn't plugged in at boot FreeBSD defaults to USB, is it possible to change this behavior. ?
