Hi misc, I've found this message from someone who get FreeBSD-6 running on some HS-20 Blade : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=freebsd-stable&m=114120051600449&w=2
The trick seems to be the disabling of ACPI and the disabling of some keyboard function (I dunno what are those isp* ?) : booting from CD, in bootmenu choose "6" and type: unset acpi_load load ispfw load isp set hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1" boot Someone knows if there some OpenBSD-equivalent to these FreeBSD bootloader command ? Running OpenBSD on some HS20 would really kick my ass !! :) Note : with all CDs and floppies, the installation hangs on this message : "pckbc_start: send error". This message is print from the pckbc_start function in http://www.kame.net/dev/cvsweb.cgi/kame/openbsd/sys/dev/ic/pckbc.c Best regards, Bruno. 2006/1/20, Bruno Carnazzi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I've got exactly the same problem.
