OK, interesting=2E

Now I've got a kernel that boots, but no input devices/console at
all=2E=2E=2E heh=2E Why is this? I have configured the kernel for ps/2 in 'I=
nput
device support' and chosen=20
'AT and PS/2 keyboards' and 'PS/2 mouse' in PS/2 port input devices=2E
What more do I need to do?

Not that I have several sets of keyboards/mice yet=2E I've got one set
(PS/2), I'll be testing with a USB keyboard shortly I believe=2E
