d-i still doestn't use grub2 by default if you install stable or testing. Only if you install unstable you can't get currently grub-legacy. Well the kFreeBSD ones use grub2 for booting d-i and also for the installed system but I don't think you use that. Anyway when forwarding this bug I forgot about our at_keyboard driver. At the top of grub.cfg try: insmod at_keyboard terminal_input at_keyboard -- Felix Zielcke Proud Debian Maintainer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
