Solaris 10 x86 b63 USB keyboard issue

807559Oct 11 2004 — edited Oct 12 2004

Hello. I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The system uses a USB keyboard and mouse. When asked as to the type of installation to perform (1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only), I select 1, then the system start booting and the following messages are displayed:

Configuring devices.
Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information
ioctl (kbd type): Invalid argument

and hangs at this point. The keyboard stops responding so that a power cycle is the only option. Obviously the keyboard is recognized for me to select option 1 above but something happens after that. Any ideas? Thanks.
