Install with USB keyboard



Hi I have a Dell Dimension E520 and I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2. I am
running into a problem that it gets to sysinstaller and keyboard does not
work. The keyboard is a USB one. I have windows installed and it works in
there so I know it is not keyboard. I booted and hit option 6 and typed
following message:

set hint.atkbd.0.disabled="1"

That did not work. Please I would really like to use FreeBSD and I do not
have a PS/2 port to help. Thanks
