After reading  Makoto Fujiwara's description of some keyboard problems
with -current on his ibook, i though i should describe a bit more about
how i'm booting into netbsd

I'm using "yaboot" ( linux ppc bootloader ) to boot the netbsd
partition.  Yaboot assumes /bsd exists, and so gives me the Boot: prompt
when ( in my case) hd:12,/bsd can't be found.  At this point, i can type
away, and have no problem booting hd:12,/netbsd.  

I've also tried hitting the shift key, as well as mashing on lots of
keys durring bootup.  I still am presented with a "Enter pathname..."
prompt to which i cannot respond.

Thanks for any advice you can share
