Hi,
I'm trying to setup OpenBSD 7.8 (release) on a AMD Ryzen 5 system (GPU:
AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT). The installation went without errors, but when
I ran
# fw_update
(which didn't report any errors, and added amdgpu and a number of
related drivers) and rebooted, I got the following kernel panic (OCRed
from the photo):

Next, at the ddb prompt I entered
ddb{4}> reboot
and tried to enter UKC to "disable amdgpu", entering "boot -c" at the
initial "boot>" prompt, but then I got the following screen:
=======================================================================

and the keyboard was unresponsive (at the same time, cursor after the
"UKC>" prompt is flickering like crazy).
Any help would be appreciated.
