>Description:
I encountered two difficulties while attempting to install 6.0 RC1.

1. unable to create swap device, therefore unable to install

2. usb keyboard non-responsive durring sysconfig           
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt re-installation           
>Fix:
The second and extreamly less important could be fixed by loading the usb modules as part of the CD boot, and a simple configuration, which I have already submitted ... but this can be worked around by dragging out my ps/2 keyboard for the installation.

Grab the PR. 

Also note that we have committed several fixes to the USB keyboard 
handing drivers, when 6.1 had been released we can test that or the 
submitter can try RELENG_6 from cvsup...

State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 15 11:15:01 UTC 2006 
State-Changed-Why:  
The SWAP issue was resolved a little ago already. 
The USB remained problematic but I believe this had 
been resolved now (after kdbmux had been committed to 
the RELENG_6 branch and is now available in 6.1). 

Please use that version, if you still encounter problems 
please feel free to contact me so that we can try and 
investigate this.

 As this was a "Release Candidate", I assumed that if it went away  
 with the release there would not be any issue to resolve ... I only  
 wished to point out a potential issue ...
 
 I am now running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE or FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on all  
 nodes.
 
 ... all are working fine. I can not confirm I have installed 6.1 or  
 6.0 on that particular node.
 
 If no one else had any issue which approaches this, I will assume an  
 anomaly in hardware, or ma be associated with a keyboard error of  
 some king. I may have been attempting to boot/install using only a  
 USB keyboard.

 While I implied this should be closed, I forgot to specifically state  
 that it should ... so just for the record ...
 
 
 I believe this issue should be closed.
 
 ... other releases are available which appear to resolve the issue,  
 and this was obviously a test release, implying that a following  
 release should be used when it is available.
