USB + standard keyboard on PWS500au
I need to attach a second keyboard and mouse to my PWS500au, v5.1B-4.
Two USB kb/mice works fine, but it is not possible to have the standard kb-minDIN connected at the same time. A character pressed will repeat itself indefinitely.
This is inconvenient since USB kb is not supported in the >>> monitor, so when I need to boot, I have to connect the standard kb, press "b" and then disconnect it.
It's a small problem, but I would like to look for a solution that would allow me to have the first kb/mouse using standard connection and the second using USB. Then I would'nt need to mess around changing kenybords if I need to reboot.
Any (friendly) input would be appreciated.

>>> set auto_action boot
Then you will not need keyboard for normal booting, just for special cases.

I guess I have to live with this during the testing time, and set it to autoboot later.
Thanks.

Re: USB + standard keyboard on PWS500au
I did a kernel rebuild with the USB devices attached, and after that the system behaved exactly as I wanted.
The serial keyboard was active at the (>>>) monitor, and once the system was booted the serial keyboard was disbled, and the control was transferred to the USB devices. The two USB mice and keyboards were working in parallell without interference from the serial keyboard.
