  I have just installed FreeBSD 1.0.2 and have a nagging, to say the 
least problem.  Any contact with the caps-lock key causes the system 
to hang immediately.  The only recourse is to do a hard reset.

  I've scanned the FAQ and found no mention of this particular problem.
Is there anyone out there familiar with this?

  Config:

VL/EISA-486SV1 motherboard W/16 meg onboard
Award BIOS
Buslogic 747s host adapter
Mach32 videoboard
2-com ports, 1 parallel port
Fujitsu SCSI disk
Logitech Mouseman
System configured with 386bsdGENERICBT kernel

  Any help would be appreciated more than I can say!
