[Suns-at-Home] PS/2 Keyboards and Suns

[Lewis, Benjamin (Ben)]

>If I unplug the sun keyboard lead and plug it back in, the Sun drops to
the boot prompt, however if I type 'go' then the sun resumes and the
keyboard works.

I believe this is normal behavior. It's certainly happened to me in
remote lab installs where other people in the lab kept unplugging
keyboards.

Have you tried "boot -r" to rebuild /dev with the PS/2 keyboard and USB
adapter plugged in? I had to do this to get a USB external hard disk and
a Lacie USB floppy drive working.=20

I've also got one of the Belkin adapters and would be interested to hear
how you get on. I'm looking for an inexpensive way to share keyboard and
mouse between my Ultra 5 and E4500.

Best regards

Ben
