Message-ID: <CJ0v8p.Hs3@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu> Sender: news@usenet.ucs.indiana.edu (USENET News System) Nntp-Posting-Host: bronze.ucs.indiana.edu Organization: Indiana University, Bloomington IN Date: Sun, 2 Jan 1994 21:48:24 GMT Lines: 27 Hi. I'm trying to install FreeBSD-1.0-RELEASE on my system, and I get to the point in the floppy boot where I'm asked, "Proceed with installation? [y]" The floppies were the most recent as of two weeks ago. At this point, I notice that my keyboard is not speaking to the system. Also, having tried this a few times, I noticed that my keyboard LEDs are all turned off during the boot (which concerns me, but may not mean anything). Well, here's what I'm working with: Dell XPS 450/V ( => 50 MHz 486DX2 ) 8MB RAM #9GXE Video Card 340 MB Western Digital Caviar 2340 170 MB Western Digital Caviar 2170 So, far I've had the system confiugred for use with Windows/DOS 6, and I've had total success with all of the hardware, so it should all be working correctly. Also, I've tried turning off the "Fast System BIOS" and "Fast Video BIOS" with no luck. I would greatly appreciate any help that you can provide. Thank you in advance.
