Keyboard Hint
You would not believe the number of time I've had to reboot a headless FreeBSD server merely to get it to see the keyboard. Yet no matter how many times I've done it I've always forgotten to investigate a permanent fix.
Until now.
cd /boot cp device.hints device.hints.old cat device.hints | sed 's/atkbd.0.flags="0x1"/atkbd.0.flags="0x0"/' > device.hints
Only issue is that the keyboard lights don't. But I can live with that.
So easy. Is going to save me so much time. Now why the hell didn't I investigate sooner?
