The goal here is to get an install with networking, so serious
focus can be made on the integrated bge interface driver. An axe
usb adapter is providing connectivity to a 3.0 i386 usb cdrom
install (ftp works). But the target install is having keyboard
issues.  The keyboard does not work at all for the 3.0 amd64 usb
cdrom installer. I can get bios via serial and I tried setting
"consdev com2" and "consdev com2kbd" at the boot prompt, but as
soon as the kernel loads, I loose serial.

Going to try pxe to com as I wait for response here.  Is there
anyway to use the cdrom installer from serial port? (eg boot
parm)?
