Hi all,

I have one small problem with BSD bootloader... I have two systems in my PC... on one HDD I have windows bootloader and WINXP (sorry for that :) ), on the second disk I have BSD with its bootloader... when I choose to boot from the BSD HDD, the bootloader appears:
"Press:
F1 ... DOS
F2 ... BSD
F5 ... something, i am not sure...

Default: F1"

Itīs ok, but the system is not responding to keyboard...I can press F2 hundred times and nothing happens....after few seconds it freezes, because it starts to boot to DOS (itīs default). It looks like, that the system canīt see my keyboard. I have USB wireless keyb.

Any idea what sould I do?

Thanks a lot for anyone who helps me :-)

as far as I know it will let out a nice 'beep' on errors if the kb is hooked up.

I would suggest trying another regular PS/2 wired or USB Keyboard.

Or installing the GAG boot loader (cd & floppy avail) into the 2nd hard drives mbr and bipassing FreeBSD's.
