Intel DP45SG motherboard problem

[David Peall]

Hi

I'm having such trouble trying to get FreeBSD onto the PC.  I've googled and found the following old thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-hardware@.../msg03470.html

And the following forum post:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3048

But there is no solution proposed.  I've tried everything I can think of.  I have a pxeboot setup and could boot custom kernels but I'm just not sure what to change.  I've tried 7.0, 7.2, 7.2-p3, 8 beta, 8-current all amd64 and none of them will get to the sysinstall screen.

If I try install the i386 version I can get to the sysinstall screen but if I push up/down once it scrolls to the top/bottom and then its locked all keys are dead I've tried two different USB keyboards.  There are no PS2 ports on this motherboard.

Is available to guide me to try solve this problem.

Kind Regards

Is the BIOS up to date? See:
