Dear Sirs,
My name is Clint Wu, I had been told the DMP’s EBOX-336x mini PC (product
page <https://www.compactpc.com.tw/products/children/15> ) can run OpenBSD
7.1.
...
My keyboard stop working at this stage. Did any one report this problem
before?
Can you tell me how to solve this? what should I do next? Please advise,
thank you.
well, I have no knowledge of this machine, but one thing I would try is
to see if you can switch it between legacy (BIOS, MBR, etc.) and UEFI
booting. Some machines have bugs in one mode but not the other. My
favorite example is a machine I have that was sold with a custom Linux
install and a warning that "you MUST use legacy mode" for the standard
app, but OpenBSD can't see the disk I/O unless you run it in UEFI mode.
Different hardware WILL behave differently. Nothing has made me
appreciate the PC BIOS more than the things that have tried to replace
it.
IF you got the model with the serial port, you could try using a serial
console.
Sounds like you got it loaded via alternative means, if you can ssh into
the system and get a dmesg out of it, it would be interesting to look
at and might shed some clues. But some of these specialty machines
(including some virtualization products) are built and tested to certain
OSs and not much regard is given to other system or the reference
designs.
