That's disabling announcements of standby and suspend on the speaker.
I don't see how this may help. After all, there was no audible
announcement at all, probably because I didn't yet fiddle with
audio/mixer settings?
However, the whole thing now gets even worse: I did a "hard" reset
as descriped in the install guide (hold down "b" and "d", remove
battery and power, wait a minute, insert battery, power-on, release
"b" and "d"). Worked fine (single user mode in Linux). Rebooted to
OpenBSD, also fine -- of course, fsck did have to check all
filessystems. I did some additional configurations not related to
the apm problems, with some reboots. Finally, I was just editing
/etc/fstab when the display suddenly switched off. It seemed to
suspend without any good reason.
And now I can't get it back to life, even after removing and
reinserting the battery, regardless of the "b" & "d" trick or not.
I've connected the power supply to recharge the battery, just in
case it's just exhausted. However, five minutes before the display
went black, apm(8) reported the battery status as 75% charged.
Below is a list of things I've done since I received the zaurus.
The only two possibly silly things were an initial junky disklabel
and an el-cheapo USB-Ethernet adapter (Typhoon Speednet). That
adapter was connected to the zaurus when the above happend. It's
an aue(4), here's a dmesg from it connected to another computer:
aue0 at uhub3 port 1
aue0: USBs USB 10/100 Fast Ethernet, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 2
aue0: address 00:e0:98:9b:df:16
acphy0 at aue0 phy 1: AC_UNKNOWN 10/100 PHY, rev. 0
I still hope it's a PEBCAC and not some hardware failure.
Ciao,

History of (maybe silly) things I did:
1. First boot to Linux, connected to power supply.
2. Asked Wim and google for how to make it display less japanese.
3. Found http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/custom.html
4. Installed qkonsole, changed Language and Timzone
/home/zaurus/Settings/locale.conf as described in 3 (with *my*
timezone, of course).
5. Downloaded the base install sets, kernels, and openbsd37_arm.ipk.
6. Installed the latter and run it.
7. Rebooted into Linux.
8. Started the OpenBSD installer.
9. Shrunk the MSDOS partition as described in the install guide,
created the A6 partition etc, including creating a new MSDOS
filesystem on the shrunk partition.
10. Limited the disklabel boundaries to the A6 partition, just to be
safe.
11. (Very silly one): created a 64m slice for swap (b) followed by one
large slice (a) for the remaining space. Hey, I just wanted to run an
initial "play- and throw-away" install.
12. Installed the some sets (bsd, bsd.rd, base37.tgz, comp37.tgz).
Forgot etc37.tgz, so everything bailed out when it came to touchscreen
calibration.
13. Reboot (disconnect power supply, remove battery, ...)
14. Repeat everything, with etc37.tgz included.
15. Won't boot, due to my braindead disklabeling.
16. Repeat everything, this time with a reasonable layout (100 MB for /,
64 MB swap, 400 MB for /usr, 100 MB for /var, the remaining space
for /home.
17. Enable ssh, ntpd, set allowaperture for later use of X. Do some
basic setup, configure network for the above mentioned aue(4)
device, using DHCP and rtsol. Enable apmd in /etc/rc.conf.local.
First tests with ssh, both from and to the Zaurus were fine (i.e. no
network problems).
18. Run zzz(8). See my first mail.
19. Remove battery, ... reboot.
20. Sudden hang/suspend/whatever (see above).
21. Despair.
