Hi Roberto Can you please try out FreeBSD-4.1 since alot has happend in the USB area since FreeBSD-3.2. You can download and ISO-image from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.1-install.iso Please let us know if this still is a problem. Thanks Johan K Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->n_hibma Nick, any hope for using a USB keyboard to install 3.2-RELEASE, or will this gentleman need to use an AT/PS2 keyboard? The important thing to do is to make sure you have the correct settings in your BIOS. Check for settings like - legacy keyboard support (switch to yes/on) - USB support (switch to yes/on) Let me know all the settings you find that could relate to USB support and we might be able to sort this out.

State Changed From-To: feedback->closed This is not so much a bug as a configuration problem. I will handles this in private e-mail. Hm, try again but now with Legacy keyboard support disabled. When you say, that you removed both Generic USB hub drivers and the keyboard no longer worked, was there a reboot in between the two? Or more precise, did you remove the driver, reboot, and then the keyboard no longer worked? nick On Sun, 13 Aug 2000, roberto avanzi wrote: > Hi Nick, > thank you for your answer. > The settings you told me to check are all on.

While booting the CD-ROM, I see the following messagge, and I can't do anything: Keyboard: no I tried the solution reported on your errata.txt files, but after I entered the '-Dh' command, the installation freezed on the next screen shot (kernel configuration). keyboard is dead and nothing happens. What can I do? I have an USB keyboard, with some additionality features (Volume button, Web button). My PC is an Pentium III 450 Mhz/64 Mbyte/8 Gbyte HD.
