I picked up an el-cheapo rack-mount server on eBay a couple of weeks
ago.  It arrived with RH-Linux installed and bootable.

However when I went to boot my latest netbsd-4 CD-ROM and install NetBSD
on it, all went reasonably well (sans some major timeouts and delays
probing the IDE devices) until it came time to type something at
sysinst.  The keyboard is lifeless, and the numlock light had gone out.
Unplugging and re-inserting the keyboard causes the lights to flash, but
it's still dead.

The motherboard is apparently an Asus P2B-D.

The BIOS reports "Asus P2B-D ACPI BIOS Revision 1012B" and the bottom
line on the screen shows "03/03/00-i440BX-P2B-D-00"

The BIOS is an "Award BIOS v4.51PG"

(apparently there's a "BIOS Revision 1014d003" available that I'll try
at some point if I can figure out how to load it)

The keyboard works fine in the BIOS setup screens, and in RH-Linux.

When I plugged a USB keyboard in, the kernel complained about some kind
of problem and disabled the USB port.

(That's an INSTALL_LARGE kernel of course, built from sources updated
from the netbsd-4 branch as of about 2007/06/15 or so.)

I'll try and get it hooked up to my serial console server soon and
capture a full dmesg.

In the mean time a FreeBSD dmesg can be found here:
