I am very happy with the Sun keyboard's. If you are booting the OpenProm it will let you know it detects the keyboard well. Getting @@@ looks strange. If you are in graphics mode does ctrl+alt+f2 do the job? Or this but f1, f3, f4 does any changes? > Maybe I should hook up a SCSI disk, but what I really want is an SSD. Talking about hardware dated 2002. It's all about pci controllers and kernels drivers in this case, i think :-) > This old post suggests you can use a SATA->SCSI bridge: > https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-sparc64/2011- > October/008055.html Not even thinking about this solution. It's very expensive. Looking into storage, booting by network and NFS is more realistic. Thanks, Frans van Berckel
