I can tell you what happens with a broken BIOS (or weird Compaq keyboard
such as one I have)...

Same here. 1) is like 2.2.x kernels w/o USB, 2) is like current bf2.4

If you wanna help to test the new images, try David's recent images from

Herzenslust am BSD-Unterbau Deines Systems herumfeilen kannst.
