Having an ASUS EEE PC, a USB DVD drive and a copy of OpenSolaris 2008.05
LiveCD to hand I though I would try the obvious...

OS2008.05 boots fine but the EEE keyboard can't be used so I can't get past
the keyboard layout question (despite the message "USB keyboard" appearing
on the screen.) I've read in blogs that earlier development versions of
Nevada worked without problem on the EEE.

Anybody know of a fix or workaround?

Thanks,
