Trying to install FreeBSD 8.2-RC1 on a PowerMac G5

[Torfinn Ingolfsen]

Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD 8.2-RC1 on a PowerMac G5[1].
The machine boots from the CD (disc1 image) when I press "C" on the keyboard, but after booting,
when it shows the "Country Selection" dialog, the keyboard no longer works.
How do I fix / workaround this problem?

FWIW, i also tried with FreeBSD 8.1-release (both on CD and from a usb memory stick), the CD hung,
the memory stick has the same problem as 8.2-RC1; the keyboard is not working when the "Country Selection"
dialog shows up. Full details on the FreeBSD page[2] for this machine.
