Power Micro Resarch
>Environment:
This happens on 3.2-RELEASE and several versions of 4.0-current snaps
that I tried.
>Description:
When booting the kern floppy the boot loader displays "Keyboard: no"
then refuses to boot (hangs after printing the BTX loader version msg).
This is with one of the small IBM (Lexmark) keyboards (the ones without
the numeric keypad and lights).  Changing to a full-sized keyboard
allows the boot to proceed.

Install one of the Spacesaver keyboards and attempt to boot the kern
floppy.
>Fix:
Workaround is to replace the Spacesaver keyboard with a full-sized one.

 As soon as you see "Keyboard: no", hit the space key.  You will see
 the boot block (note that this is not the boot loader) prompt.
 
 Type -Dh and return.  Yes, you can type from the spacesaver keyboard
 at this point.  Then things should go normally.
 
 This is a known problem and recently added to TROUBLE.TXT.

 Just for the record, would you provide us the part number of your
 Spacesaver keyboard and details of your motherboard and BIOS, please?
 
 Also, after you install FreeBSD on the machine, give -v option to the
 boot command. (You hit space when you see "automatic boot in X
 seconds..." in the BTX loader, then type "boot -v".)
 
 When the system is up and running, review the file
 /var/run/dmesg.boot and locate the line:
 
 atkbd: keyboard ID 0xXXXX (XX)
 
 I would like to know the ID number.
 
 I also own an IBM Spacesaver keyboard (part # 1393278), and it's
 recognized by the boot block all right.  My motherboard is MicroStar
 MS-6103 with the AWARD BIOS.

 It is:
 
 atkbd: keyboard ID 0x54ab (0)

 My keyboard is part #1397681.  The motherboard is an ASUS P/I-XP6NP5,
 Award BIOS (Ver. 0105).
 
 Hope this helps,
 Bob
