USB keyboard in FreeBSD 10 amd64 installer

[Joshua Lokken]

Hi Erich,

Absolutely nothing.  The installer screen just sits there, no new line,
nothing.  I also have not had this particular issue for some time.  I
originally tried with a wireless (USB) keyboard, and wasn't surprised when
that didn't work, so I grabbed my old wired USB keyboard, but no go there
either.

I did try one other port -- getting set to try the others now.
