Hello,

FreeBSD installation on IBM VP disables the keyboard - yes, 
kills it completely!  My custom kernel has the entry from 
LINT for the PS/2 mouse with "conflicts" designated.  Boot
finds both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse just fine:
	sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
	sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>
	...
	psm0 at 0x60-0x63 irq 12 on motherboard

During boot, the NumLock key toggles the LCD until after 
the ethernet cards are detected but stops working prior to
loading the console driver.

My questions is "How did you solve this problem"?  Thanks 
for any assistance.

Jim
