FreeBSD Hang on Optiplex 320 (problem number 91906 question)

[Jonathan Walsh]

I am trying to install FreeBSD6.2 on an Optiplex 320, after Googling a 
bit I see that several other people have has similar problems with USB 
keyboards causing a hang on boot if plugged in.  If I leave the keyboard 
unplugged during that phase of the boot up, then plug it in afterwards, 
booting completes but they keyboard does not work.  These are exactly 
the same symptoms as reported by others.

I see there was a bug report about the issue submitted in January, 
#91906.  I was wondering if there was any idea on if/when this issue 
would be resolved, or even if there is work ongoing on a fix at this time.

Thanks,
