6.0 and Apple's Intel Developer Platform

[JK-14]

I'm trying to boot the Freebsd 6.0 CD1 on Apple's Intel Developer
platform but the USB keyboard is not recognized.  I've fiddled with
all the BIOS options I dare.  The video output (in clunky text mode)
is working okay and I'd like to try an install.

Can I get the USB keyboard working with the released 6.0 CD?  There is
no PS/2 connector(s) on this system.

I'd just wait for a real Mactel box personally. :)  You can get the USB
keyboard working with the right set of hints I think, but I haven't played
with it in a while.  You can try asking on stable@ or questions@ about
installing with a USB keyboard to reach a wider audience.
