Hei I have made a live NOMAD BSD 1.3.2 but the built in kernel does not add, will or wont be any solution unless to buy external hardwares to make it move ?

it would be elevating to having good answers in order

thanks

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Are you asking if you can add to (extend) the zfs pool or are you trying to say that it won't boot?

no, it boots well it is super - but when it’s booted the mousetouchpad and keyboard don’t do a thing, i have gotten this recommendation to use external keyboard, but it’s a laptop you know and it would be great to havin the nomad to fulfill its means

thanks

Can you check to ensure the atp driver is loaded? It has the latest support for apple touchpads.

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): atp_load="YES"

I have this problem in general with linux products, I have tried dragonfly dsb, tails, ubuntu, and nomad, they have all this problem with the compatibility. I have read a thread about that if I get at least a usb mouse there is a way to update something in the terminal a code or alike, but I was about to wait until 1.3.2 ( i have tried this one) gets updated to 1.3.3 or whatever may come the next

I previously had a macbook pand that driver seemed to work with atp. I haven't heard of any drastic changes to their touchpad. If you are running from a live usb at the moment and can connect it to another computer try the above solution if it is not already added to loader.conf. Shut down the system and attempt to boot on the macbook again, please.
