In summary, the individual is trying to install three operating systems on one computer but is experiencing issues with the installation of FreeBSD. The system takes a long time to boot and sometimes gets stuck while checking for new hardware. The individual believes the issue may be related to a non-US keyboard and is seeking a solution.

Thank you duardo, my problem happens to be with keyboard which is not us/international one.
I boot in safemode a nd try to look at how teh system works[verbal], but when it comes to "check new usb install"--I am connecting my new keyboard at teh time too--and it stops until my screen goes black. Of course if I unplug my keyboard, it will boot smoothly but after taht my keyboard goes dead/frozen

Do you know how to fix this kind of usb problem ?
Thank you
