Hallo list,
I want to use this machine as a dual-boot system together with windows. It
is connected to a standard PS2-KVM, no USB-mouse or keyboard. Installation
of both Windows and OpenBSD 4.0 from CDs worked without any problems. But
now if I boot OpenBSD from harddisk the keyboard is locked at the login
prompt.
But I can use the keyboard in the BIOS, for the boot-manager, with the
standard boot-prompt of OpenBSD and within UKC. So something later in the
bootprocess is locking the keyboard.
I tried to use X-Windows but there is the problem that the mouse is not
responding. Maybe this is related?
Any sugestions? Dmesg follows
It sounds like this:

Some KVM switches work great, some don't. I've got some that work
great while they work, but then the KVM switch itself crashes
regularly. *sigh*
thank you for the link. I did miss this but have read other pages on the
net which mention problems with KVMs. I am still wondering why I was able
to install the system without problems. There must be a subtle difference
between the installation kernel on the CD and the Generic one which causes
the lockup. By the way, the lockup is not happening on each boot.
