Re: NetBSD does not recognize USB keyboard

Hello,
	I think the place to start is to see how the configuration can be  
extracted from the device tree.  A clue to that would be how the boot  
process transfers the  open source device tree to the requesting OS.   
I will work with you as best I can in accomplishing this.  You will  
just have to remember that FORTH and open firmware are somewhat new  
to me.
	I will also need to know what modules of macppc are involved of that  
is necessary.
