I have an HP ProLiant ML110 G6 Server on which I've installed and configured 
FreeBSD v7.4-RELEASE.

Though the computer auto-boots uneventfully, I have never been able to 
interact with the boot loader as no keyboard action is, while it's resident, 
recognized.

I have tried a number of different keyboards (101-key, 102-key, 104-key; 
PS/2, USB;  with and without interface adapters) without result.

I find that if I attempt, continuously while booting, to toggle (for 
example) the CapsLock key that there is a period during the boot process 
where the associated CapsLock LED ceases toggling in response.

The period begins at the moment the boot manager's boot-slice selection is 
satisfied (either via user action or timeout).

The period ends midway through the loading of the kernel;  perhaps as early 
as status message
   ...  kernel: kbd2 at ukbd0
but, certainly, no later than status message
   ...  kernel: sc09: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
though it's difficult to discern as they go by quickly.

Any suggestions as to how this might be resolved would be appreciated.

Greetings,

I had some issuses with this and found out that with this system is was a 
little buggy,
Until,after making the RAID volume with the E200i controller, you needed for 
the system to finish with building the volume. After it seemed to install 
FreeBSD and Work correctly.

You have to let this system stay on for about 4 hours and then reboot and 
check the status of the RAID controller,
ADU Report
1. if the battery is charged
2. Most important the RAID is done building. or else it really makes this 
crazy stuff
[DeviceStatusSmart Array E200 in slot 4
The cache is temporarily disabled
Logical Drive 1
Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on this 
logical drive. If background parity initialization is queued, it will start 
when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization 
completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve.] WOuld boot 
with not keyboard at worse, not instal all the packages.

3. you need to update the SYSTEM BIOS / and BMC as well as the controller 
BIOS.

Let me know more about the HW details from the HP Survey. then I can check 
it with the two Testing Proliant ML110's I have here in the Lab.
