Keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue. What's up with that? Really! It makes no freaking sense. You think some eight year old would have figured it out by now!

I'm guessing they're trying to prompt you to attach a keyboard at that point, and then press F1.

Which would be fine, if swapping or attaching a keyboard worked as easily as that all the time...

It's generic. Error: [whatever's wrong]. Press F1 to continue. It is funny, though.

I'd like to know what's up with Win95's "Cannot delete: not enough free disk space" message.

HH: I never saw the Win95 thing... probably because I've never not had enough free space in Win95...

The keyboard thing... yeah You can't plug in a PS/2 keyboard at that moment, but some BIOSes support USB keyboards (mine does), so that's sensible. On another note, my BIOS key is DELETE

my computer on my bedroom had that a couple of times, I could just plug in a PS/2 keyboard and be done with it. (think my BIOS totally supports that type of keyboard)

USB keyboards are so useful. Once my neighberhoods had to loan a keyboard and he could loan my USB keyboard for half a hour. When I got the keyboard back I didn't even need to restart.

As HH said, it's generic. That message is probably made up by two parts, whenever there is a error it shows what error it is and then always show "Press F1 to contiune" whatever the problem is. (unless it's a problem that is very serious, then the computer just beep like crazy )

Uhmm...my first irreparable motherboard damage was caused when I plugged in a keyboard at the POST screen. Lots of beeping, much panicking, and a dead keyboard controller followed.

At least we got a new computer out of that little incident...the good ol' 386DX-40, IIRC. 'Twas a good computer.
