USB keyboard not working at the boot menu

C

hi

I've installed FreeBSD 8.1. USB Keyboard is not working at the boot menu startup, but after system start it works well.
I don't have this problem with linux installed on the same HDD. USB Legacy and other USB settings are enabled in the BIOS.

My /etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
# cat /etc/rc.conf

# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

My Keyboard:
Code: 
# dmesg | grep kbd

Howto solve this problem?
 
According to:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/faq/compatibility-kbd-mice.html

I've tried these commands, but device is busy:
Code: 
# kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console > /dev/null
[color="Red"]kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/kbd1: Device busy[/color]

# kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/console > /dev/null
[color="Red"]kbdcontrol: cannot open /dev/ukbd0: Device busy[/color]

Even it doesn't help to add:
Code: 
keyboard="/dev/ukbd0"

to /etc/rc.conf.
 
I've tried the following:
Code: 
# kbdcontrol -A atkbd0 < /dev/ttyv0
kbd1
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)
# kbdcontrol -A ukbd0 < /dev/ttyv0
kbd1
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)
# kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/console > /dev/null
#
and
Code: 
#  kbdcontrol -A ukbd0 < /dev/ttyv0
kbd1
    kbdmux0, type:AT 101/102 (2)
# kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null
#
but still doesn't help.
 
Quite strange, if I get a boot menu, any key doesn't work, even ESC, SPACE, ENTER etc.
but if I press SPACE and ESC together, then the timer stops and suddenly other keys work as well.
 
USB keyboard ML110

Hello,

You can try to install GRUB, it replace the boot sequence before the boot menu and allow an access to the usb keyboard on a ml 110 g6.

Kenavo.
