Make sure the device is in the kernel...If you are at 2.1.5 or earlier and you are booting GENERIC, then it won't be there...dunno if it's in 2.1.6 or not, looks like it is in -current...If it's not: cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC mykernel edit mykernel and add this line: device psm0 at isa? disable port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr save the file then: config mykernel cd ../../compile/mykernel make all install then reboot... I know this probably in the mailing list archives, but I don't have much luck finding stuff in those either... -- John Soward <a href="http://neworder.cc.uky.edu/">JpS</a> Sr. Systems Programmer 'The Midnight sun will burn you up.'
