Oh crap! I should have thought of that. I have a PMAG-AA. Doh!
Well NetBSD supports it, I guess I can try serial console for the install
and then play with it afterwards.
The caps lock and such was working, so I guess I should have thought
the console was unsupported. Do I add hte console parameter to the boot
loader line (well the boot prompt line I guess)? I would assume so since
that is where the -a parameter for netbsd is put.
Thanks.
