I have two fileservers, Asus P4R800V + Celeron 2400, running FreeBSD 
since Feb 2004 currently v5.3. I decided to move these onto NetBSD 
3.0 rather than upgrade to FreeBSD 6.x as already using NetBSD for 
firewall and internet facing server.

I first tried with 3.0.1 boot floppy then booting from 3.0 cdrom with 
same result on both servers. Partway through boot process the 
keyboard leds flash on then off, and remain off, then shortly after 
one of messages is 'kbc: cmd write error' and then hangs at probing 
for isa pnp.

Anyone already have a solution to this?
