Had not time to test it. I'm running serial console on these toys now.
No problem here.

BTW Beware of the shitty virtual CD/Floppy drives on the server. There
is no way to turn them off from BIOS. Had no luck with hints either.
5.3 fails to boot on them so don't even try it. 5.4 spits out some
warning messages during boot about them but then runs fine. Don't know
about CURRENT.

Erm. When I say keyboard doesn't work I *mean* it doesn't work at all.
The only key which works on the box is BRS, which doesn't give me
sufficient interaction with the system. I've skipped morse code
lessons and boy scouting in my life altogether.
Did you get this solved?  I have some Dell 2850's I might be able to test 
this on.

Erm. When I say keyboard doesn't work I *mean* it doesn't work at all.
The only key which works on the box is BRS, which doesn't give me
sufficient interaction with the system. I've skipped morse code

LOL allright just figured I would ask. It sounded like to me that you
allready got the system installed and you couldnt use the keyboard from
that point on. Hmm interesting my Dear Watson.
Anyway, Best of luck.

Erm. When I say keyboard doesn't work I *mean* it doesn't work at all.
The only key which works on the box is BRS, which doesn't give me
sufficient interaction with the system. I've skipped morse code
lessons and boy scouting in my life altogether.
