I have a IOGear MiniView KVM too and when I tired to install FreeBSD
5.3, I had the same problem. After I did a little googleing, I found the
answer. When you first boot with FreeBSD 5.3 bootable CD-ROM, wait for the
FreeBSD boot menu to appear and choose option number 6. Then at the OK
prompt, type the following and hit the enter key.
set hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x1"
Note the Quote makes are needed. At the next OK prompt, type
boot
And the system should boot to sysinstall menu where you will find the USB
keyboard working. At least that is what work for me.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
