FreeBSD on the Alix 2c3

Overview

Manual/Support

Configuration

ANSI keyboard mapping

The ALIX does keyboard/VGA emulation for BIOS access. This means that the serial BIOS IO code which FreeBSD uses in its boot programs can and does clash with the ALIX BIOS. The symptoms are keypresses being missed or ignored entirely.
