Hi,
I am trying 6.0-BETA3 amd64 on an Abit AV8 based system using the onboard SATA 
RAID connected to 2 WD 320 disks.

I have a PS/2 keyboard which is not properly detected by the system  (but it 
isn't detected in 5.4 either so it's not a regression..  it would be nice to 
have it work though :) 

To work around this I do 'set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x0"' in the loader - would 
it be possible to  have a menu option for this?

I tried 'Boot with a USB keyboard' in the 5.4 install but that made no 
difference, and there is no beastie menu in the 6.0 disk so I can't try it 
here. I am not sure what that option does but I suspect it might be stale 
from a time when the atkbd default device flags were 0, not 1 and hence the 
PS/2 keyboard was always seen by default.
