Subject: [9fans] Installing on IBM 760CD locks keyboard after a while

Hi,

I am trying to install Plan9 4th edition on very old laptop IBM 760. 
After I start from the floppy and my VGA card is not recognized (it
was expected) the keyboard is available for a couple of minutes only. 
It does not matter what I am doing it will stop accept input from the
keyboard, even if I do not type anything :-(  However plan9 is alive
but keyboard is dead.

Initially I thought it is a hardware problem but I do not remember any
setup I did recently.   It was running WinNT without a single problem
(but deadly slow) and very recently FreeBDS 4.2, it was no problem at
all.

I put 'debug=1' into my plan9.ini but it did not help much to reveal
the problem.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Oleg
