OK, after some hacking, I seem to have FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 recognizing that my
2.88 disk drive exists, but when I get the "Proceed with installation?"
prompt, my keyboard doens't seem to work. Whenever I type something, I get
weird characters instead of what I typed. I checked the IRQ, thinking that
might be the problem, but it is on irq1. Does anyone have any idea why this
is happening? and more importantly, how to fix it? (floppy drivers I can
handle, but the keyboard driver justs looks like a bunch of typing to
me...)

Thanks.
