I have an HP ProLiant ML110 G6 Server on which I've installed and configured FreeBSD v7.4-RELEASE.
Though the computer auto-boots uneventfully, I have never been able to interact with the boot loader as no keyboard action is, while it's resident, recognized.
I have tried a number of different keyboards (101-key, 102-key, 104-key; PS/2, USB; with and without interface adapters) without result.
I find that if I attempt, continuously while booting, to toggle (for example) the CapsLock key that there is a period during the boot process where the associated CapsLock LED ceases toggling in response.
The period begins at the moment the boot manager's boot-slice selection is satisfied (either via user action or timeout).
The period ends midway through the loading of the kernel; perhaps as early as status message
but, certainly, no later than status message
though it's difficult to discern as the messages go by quickly.
Any suggestions as to how this might be resolved would be appreciated.

Code:
... kernel: kbd2 at ukbd0
Code:
... kernel: sc09: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
