I tryed to install Free BSD 4.1 but ...

After the 2 nd boot disk the kernel output starts. After the line 'Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle', i come not to the Kernel Configuration screen. It jumps directly to the sysinstall screen and there is not possible to make any choice. It totaly freezes. You can only do an hard reset. The strange thing is in 4.0 all works normal.

How-To-Repeat: Trying to install Free BSD 4.1

Not really enough detail to make any kind of diagnosis or suggestions. 

It does sound a bit like a hosed keyboard, but it is impossible to tell. 

Suggest you try out 4.2 ?
