keyboard trouble? no ctrl-c

[Gary Schenk]

I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE. My keyboard is USB. When the boot 
process reaches the 'hit enter to continue' stage, nothing happens when 
I hit enter, it is just a matter of waiting the 5 seconds. Another 
symptom of trouble is that control-c does not work. For example, if 
running  'ping', control-c will not stop the process. I'm having to 
login on another terminal and kill the process.

Any ideas? Are these related?

Thanks,
