Boot with -c, and enable it. (You can find it in the `disabled' section at the bottom half of the screen in VisualConfig.) I tried FreeBSD august snap on my notebook with trackpad (ps/2 port). When i enable psm0 in the GENERIC kernel, the keyboard gets locked up. Is there any work-around (like changing I/O ports for psm0)? Is it possible at all to run FreeBSD on this notebook with internal keyboard and trackpad? Also I would like to learn why this lock-up occurs? Can anyone point me to some info on PS/2 ports and how FreeBSD treats them? -- arvind <http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~arvind/>
