I tried to load 386bsd on two Gateway 2000
local bus machines lately.  One was a 486-66
and the other a 486SX-33.  On the SX-33,
boot occurred, but the keyboard was dead.
Subsequent boots resulted in a dead keyboard
about 3 out of four times. Keyboard was dead
on the 66.  I only tried two times.  I was able
to get 386bsd loaded on the SX-33 and am able
to boot from the hard disk, but still have a
dead keyboard about 60-75% of the time.  Has
any one else had this problem and is there a fix
for it?
