Mgr help requested

[Dave Brower]

Bit me too, and then I felt dumb because this was pretty clearly
explained in the directions that I'd read not-very-carefully.

You didn't install the kernel drivers in the right order.  You loaded
the kbd driver first, and then the select driver.  When the kdb
initialized, it saw no select, and didn't get set up to work.  If you
install the select stuff first, then the kbd sees that it needs to
support select, and works right.

BTW, I have problems getting the keys to be what I wanted with keyfix,
so I hard wired them in the source to the kbd driver.  Much better,
ahhhh.
