I have just tried to boot the pk-0.2 dist.fs disk on a new 486 notebook
(of a fairly generic nature).

Everything goes OK until the shell prompt "#", when I find I can't type
anything (well, I can, but it doesn't recognise the keyboard :-( )

Perhaps I need a different console driver?  If so, is there a site somewhere
with a suitable dist.fs/fixit.fs image?  Or is the problem something else?

Thanks for any help,

Mark.
