I don't. I had to step through install, and NOT select a keyboard till
boot, then go through the i386 maps. It'd be awfully nice if we had a
generic QWERTY keymap available at boot/install, for us Ultra AX
vic^H^H^Howners.
On a semi related note, another interesting thing, I suspect this may be
a kernel bug, but figured I'd share anyways. I've got an Ultra AX here,
using a PS/2 keyboard and mouse on it, because they're too cheap to buy
me a Type5 for it. (Well, it's an *old* eval machine...;) Anyways,
switching consoles too fast seems to kill it.. I can't trace it, because
I lose video signal, and I don't have a spare VT240 terminal right now.
(It's hooked up to the PBX for the next week. Ugh.) Anyone else had
this problem?
