Hi,
I'm using NetBSD-0.9 on an 2-year-old 386DX25 AMI-MKII Board and everything's
fine, but:
I'm not able to use SHIFT-LOCK, SCROLL-LOCK, NUM-LOCK or Pause, because
the console hangs on pressing one of them. The corresponding LED's don't
even light, it's just dead. Sometimes (when I'm very lucky) the NUM-LOCK
LED lights up but that's all.
The GENERICAHA boot-disks show the same problem. Anyway, if I put them in
any other machine but mine, everything works OK.
The rest of my configuration is pretty boring: no-name ET4000 VGA
WD80X3 compatible ethernet
2 IDE Drives
German Keyboard
(BTW: needless to say that everything was OK under DOS, OS/2 2.0/2.1, LINUX,
but NetBSD ist the thing I want )
I posted this before in comp.os.386bsd.questions but did not get any reply.
I really would like to know if I'm the only one having this problem.
Is there a port of codrv for NetBSD ? I'd like to fiddle a little with
console drivers, perhaps I'm lucky at finding one that works.
Feel free to ask, comment or HELP (wildly appreciated)
Thanks to all of you
Gerrit
