====== 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.
