+'hanging keyboard'
+------------------
+There are still problems with certain machines appearing to 'hang' on
+bootup even though a prompt is there.  The most common machines that
+exhibit these problems are Gateway 2000 machines with PHOENIX bios's but
+other machines with PHOENIX bios also exhibit this behavior.
+       The temporary solution until you can get the distribution
+installed on your hard-drive is to 'bounce' on a key like shift or
+num-lock (which works well since you can see when the keyboard comes
+back to life) until the boot sequence is finished.  The keyboard will
+work fine for installing FreeBSD onto the hard-drive.
+       Generally the problems go away at this point, but if it doesn't
+you should install a SYSCONS kernel which doesn't experience these
+keyboard problems.

-       with a compiler from before FreeBSD 1.1, you will need to add
-       the `-D__FreeBSD__' flag to your kernel compiles; e.g.,
-               make CC='cc -D__FreeBSD__'
-       in /sys/compile/SYSCONS (or substitute the name of your
