I've fiddled with all the BIOS options I dare. The video output (in clunky text mode) is working okay and I'd like to try an install. Can I get the USB keyboard working with the released 6.0 CD? There is no PS/2 connector(s) on this system.

I'd just wait for a real Mactel box personally. :) You can get the USB keyboard working with the right set of hints I think, but I haven't played with it in a while. You can try asking on stable@ or questions@ about installing with a USB keyboard to reach a wider audience. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
