Hello,
I just realized that I can't use my USB keyboard if I start FreeBSD in
single user mode. The keyboard is still detected but I can't use it.
It works with the loader of course. I don't know if it's related to devd
and if it's running.
I also have USB legacy enabled in the BIOS settings.
Do you have kbdmux in your kernel? If you don't have it,
switching to "the other" keyboard is needed to be issued
from the AT keyboard (if present), using the kbdcontrol
program.
Kernel configuration should contain:
options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev
# atkbdc0 controls both the keyboard and the PS/2 mouse
device kbdmux # keyboard multiplexer
device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller
device atkbd # AT keyboard
options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso
# USB support stuff here...
device ukbd # Keyboard
options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=german.iso
If I remember correctly, most of the important lines are
part of the GENERIC kernel configuration.
On my system, I can't use the USB keyboard in CMOS setup
or at the loader, but it works as soon as the kernel has
finished loading, so when the boot process has enabled
the single user mode, the USB keyboard is usable. For
loader-related things, I still have to keep a PS/2 AT
keyboard handy.
The problem when you're using directly kbdmux in the kernel config, the
ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP and UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP are ineffective, you can't set
these both together ...
For me I added these both to use uk.iso but in single user mode I still
have the standard us layout.
Cheers,
