When I try to boot IBM Thinkpad 360 from the recent 2.0.5 boot floppy
I fall into a problem: that (apparently) keyboard scancodes are interpreted in a
wrong way.

They work fine at the boot prompt (they do not with April snapshot) but they
do not work anymore when I am supposed to select menu items.

I found sth concerning this problem in the FreeBSD mail archive but I didn't
find any information how the problem was solved, but I heard from many people
in this list that they run FreeBSD on their Thinkpads.

So my question is: HOW TO INSTALL FreeBSD on THINKPAD 360 ?
