Thanks Nikolai,

The problem I am having is that keyboard does not work with either PCBSD 
10 or FreeBSD 10 over the iDrac console.  PCBSD freaks out and loses the 
root fs AND I can't type.  FreeBSD on the other hand only loses the 
keyboard (although mouse works).

We happen to be using the native active X on Windows as the Java stuff 
seems not to work.

Any ideas?

thank you,
