Check Your AMIBIOS Settings
Check your system BIOS to verify that the OnBoard USB and Legacy USB options are
Enabled. If not, the USB devices cannot function.
USB Keyboard
You will be able to redirect the keyboard and use the keyboard on the host system at the
same time.
Note: LILO is not USB aware. The system BIOS must have USB keyboard support. If not, you
cannot use the redirected keyboard to select a different boot image.
