keyboard is all messed up.
A: Older IBM laptops use a non-standard keyboard controller, so you must
- tell the console driver (sc0) to go into a special mode which works
- on the ThinkPads. Change the sc0 'Flags' to 0x10 in UserConfig and
- it should work fine. (Look in the Input Menu for 'Syscons Console
- Driver'.)

+Q: When I try to boot the install floppy, I see the following message

+ the keyboard either.
+
+ Keyboard: no

+A: Due to lack of space, full support for old XT/AT (84-key) keyboards
+ is no longer available in the bootblocks. Some notebook computers may
+ also have this type of keyboard. If you are still using this kind of
+ hardware, you will see the above message appears when you boot from
+ the CD-ROM or an install floppy.
+
+ As soon as you see this message, hit the space bar, and you will see
+ the prompt:
+
+ >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
+ Default: x:xx(x,x)/boot/loader
+ boot:
+
+ Then enter `-Dh', and things should proceed normally.
