legacy USB setting in BIOS

Hello,


I've been having trouble gettin a USB keyboard to work at all during
installation of FreeBSD 5.3.  I've discovered that the only BIOS
setting that makes a difference is enabling/disabling USB legacy
support.  Disabling it makes my keyboard totally useless in that I
can't even boot in to my existing Linux.  Booting from the Freesbie
live CD gives me a mouse, but no keyboard, so I guess I'm not totally
SOL.  Is there anyway to install FreeBSD 5.3 on a system that has no
non-USB mouse/keyboard?

Thanks,

Matt
