I tried to install NetBSD 4 on a HP DL140 G3 today at work (and failed). I want to use it as a firewall in front of a Linux server that has some rather sensitive stuff on it. The DL140 G3 is the cheapest rack mount server that HP do and it comes with iLo and mine has a RAID controller too, great stuff. The install kernel hung for a long time and the keyboard didn't work. According to this doc http://maciejewski.org/?cat=8 if I recompile the kernel with pckbc0 support then it will work okay so some questions... What's pckbc0 ? without pckbc0 is it just picking up keyboard input from the bios rather than directly from the keyboard or something ? How do I compile an install kernel without it and boot it ? or can I some way to redirect to serial port and install from there ? is there a better way ? I think if I can get netbsd actually installed and running then I can then access it over ssh and compile a custom kernel and use that, it's just the initial install that's defeating me I'm using the standard NetBSD 4 ISO install CD should I register failure to install on a HP DL140 G3 as a bug or something? thanks for any help, Philip
