>Description:
On a Dell Dimension 9200 system there is no ps2 keyboard.  The bios has legacy support so its usb attached keyboard works until freebsd boots.  Using this, I escaped to the loader prompt and added

set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"

This is what a 5.5 installer does when you choose "Boot FreeBSD with USB keyboard" but the usb keyboard is not recognized.  On a different system I checked that usb keyboard support is compiled in the kernel so it appears this is a bug....

 Would it be somehow possible to obtain the startup information from the
 system?

 I can boot windows while the keyboard is plugged in a
 particular port but not freebsd.  But when I plug the
 keyboard in another port, freebsd comes up fine.  So we will
 call it a hardware problem!

The submitter mentions that he has a working setup now. From what I can 
recall this ment using the USB keyboard on the first device found, then 
it attaches (but cannot remember exactly). Thanks for the feedback!
