Boot menu and USB keyboard
I've got a USB keyboard and I'm unable to select any of the options in the boot loader/beastie menu - escape to the loader prompt, single- user mode etc.. It is the only keyboard attached and it works fine once the system is up. I've done a bit of Googling and tried setting hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1" in loader.conf but it doesn't make any difference. I'd appreciate some suggestions.

What version of the OS? I used to have this problem, but it disappeared ... sometime between 6.0 and 7.0, I think. And I'm pretty sure this was discussed on the mailing lists - try searching under "Huff USB keyboard".

Robert Huff I'm running 7.0-STABLE and legacy USB support is enabled in the BIOS, motherboard is ASUS A8V. I did search but all the stuff I found is a few years old, so should the boot menu definitely support usb keyboard? -Gianni ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
