Fix required. Message-ID: <Co0AA7.6t6@cnsnews.Colorado.EDU> Sender: usenet@cnsnews.Colorado.EDU (Net News Administrator) Nntp-Posting-Host: spot.colorado.edu Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Date: Sat, 9 Apr 1994 19:03:43 GMT Lines: 13 Running NetBSD0.9 and a syscons (+patches) that calls itself 1.2 After some reconfiguring of the kernel conf I now lose the keyboard completely on boot if I don't hit the turbo button just before the spinning paddle wheel is done. Basically it looks like it goes off into the weeds somewhere during the device probes if I don't slow the cpu down. I was told there is a bug in syscons and possibly pccons that can exhibit these symptoms. Does anyone know of such a bug and whether there is a fix for it? ian
