I am trying to install FreeBSD 1.0R on my system at home, but am
having problems with the floppy system. I have a 66MHz DX2 with a 34F
and an ATI Ultra Pro LB, 3 serial lines (2 16550As), an LPT, and 1.44
and 1.2 floppies. The kcopy-bt kernel floppy appears to boot fine and
probes my hardware correctly. However, whether I use the filesystem
floppy or stay with the kernel copy floppy when prompted for a
filesystem, the keyboard does not respond after I get a prompt. It
works fine when I have to inform the system that the filesystem floppy
is inserted.
I have a Gateway 2000 system with one of those screwy Anykey
keyboards. Is there some problem with this keyboard? Does anyone
have a suggestion on how to get my system booted?
Thanks in anticipation.
