Description Michael G. Thompson 2003-06-12 18:38:19 UTC
I'm booting an UltraSparc 10 clone using OpenBoot 3.10.10 and the
gentoo-sparc64-1.4_rc4-2.iso.  Using the 'gentoo' boot option, boots
successfully, but when I get to the login prompt, the keymap is incorrect, i.e.,
'a' is f4, 'r' is space bar, etc.  A kind sould in the forum pointed me at the
dokeymap boot option, but there was no obvious effect when I used it upon
reboot.  I tried a couple of the other boot option as well, alone and in
combination, but could see no change, it would always get to login, and the
keymap would be incorrect.

Investigating this.  Should be as simple as letting you select a keymap at boot time (like the x86 boot cd).

I recall having heard a report if you booted using the "gentoo serial" option, the keyboard would map correctly (though this was in relation to a Sun Blade 100 and USB keyboard).  Have you tried this?

There will be a new experimental LiveCD showing up on mirrors in the path experimental/sparc/livecd/sparc64 that should fix this problem.  Pleas let me know  it works for you.

Marking as Resolved:Fixed.

If it's still a problem, please reopen.

also figured out: keyboard not responding during boot (just after GRUB or kernel boot). i.e. cannot enter keycode when prompted (dokeymap boot option)
-> maybe no keymap problem
