Hi,
I am trying to use a Logitech USB Keyboard+Mouse in Plan 9. The keyboard
is running in the bios, but when Plan 9 is starting the keyboard is not
responding. I can't select where is the root partition (hit enter).
Any help?
Thanks.

either
(a) compile a kernel without usb support and use that, or
(b) add usb/usbd and usb/kb to your startup scripts in
termrc or cpurc.

There are some bios'es in which there is a third option: enable USB
emulation in the bios for PS/2 kb and mouse. Ugly, but it works.

BIOSes have a tendency to disable that emulation when the OS starts
playing with USB itself, which I'd wager is why erik suggested
compiling a kernel without USB.
