Hi,

I'm trying to install FreeNAS 9.3 from a USB stick onto a SuperMicro 5018A-FTN4 which contains a SSD Drive (Intel) and a Atom processor. The USB stick boots fine, and I can get up to the install screen... but I can't select anything on the installation screen! Moving with the arrows, selecting an installation option or just pressing enter doesn't work. And yes, the keyboard is working elsewhere. That SuperMicro was running CentOS 6.6 just fine, and I was able to use the same keyboard with CentOS.

What exact screen are you stuck on? Is the one where it asks you to choose a drive to install to? And are you hitting the space bar to select a disk?

If it's a USB keyboard - try another port, preferably a USB 2.0.

Well. It works in a USB 2 port. I guess the USB driver for Grub is different than the one for the installer, since the keyboard was working in the Grub menu to select FreeNAS Install.
