I can boot windows while the keyboard is plugged in a
particular port but not freebsd. But when I plug the
keyboard in another port, freebsd comes up fine. So we will
call it a hardware problem!
State Changed From-To: open->closed The submitter mentions that he has a working setup now. From what I can recall this ment using the USB keyboard on the first device found, then it attaches (but cannot remember exactly). Thanks for the feedback! |
