Hello,
It's quite a long time to do it and I forgot what the command and syntax,could someone show it to me again please?
I want to reconfig the box NOT to have the keyboard attached to it any more using eeprom command so that I don't have to reboot it after the change, is my memory right?, and how to do it?
Thanks
 
I know the eeprom setting you will be adjusting is "input_device". But, you will have to reboot for these changes to go into effect.
 
bAbeo;

bfitzmai is correct about using eeprom to change input-device you would need to reboot for setting to take place. The syntax from what I remember (this would be to set input deive to serial port A;

eeprom "input-device=ttya"

you could also edit /etc/default/kbd and set keyboard_abort=disable then run kbd -i this will allow you to pull the keyboard from the system without it dropping to ok prompt.


Thanks
