>Originator:     Joe Greco
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE i386
>Organization:
sol.net Network Services
>Environment:

	Apparently any machine that has "-D -h" in /boot.config to use
	serial consoles.  Noted across many 3.x FreeBSD variants.

>Description:

	We use serial consoles for most stuff, configured with "-D -h"
	in /boot.config.  Sometimes, however, we use a VGA console and we 
	type a "space" right after seeing the "Boot: -D -h", and we put
	in "-h" at the prompt to force VGA.

	After we do this, sometimes the keyboard is nonresponsive in the
	next stage boot loader (i.e. counting down to zero, where you
	would hit a key and then "-s" to go to single user).

>How-To-Repeat:

	See above

>Fix:
