Yes, you are right.  I'll make it a point to check out the
"ps/2 problem" as you suggest.  I'm also going to wait until
version 2.2 is available, because it appears that 2.1.0 doesn't
handle large (4 Gig) hard drives properly.  I had two 2 Gig
partitions (one win 95, and one FreeBSD) until FreeBSD attempted
to write to the Win 95 partition.  After that attempt, the HD
was corrupted and it was necessary to reinstall everything.

That, of course, means I'm going to have to completely reinstall
FreeBSD anyway, so I might as well wait for 2.2.0 to become
available on cdrom. :)

Thanks for your help.  It's appreciated.

Regards,
Rick Slater
