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.

Actually, IF this is your problem, if you set the KVM to the OpenBSD
system and LEAVE IT THERE, OpenBSD would probably work fine. You most
likely did this on first install. It's the switching that kills the
OpenBSD mouse/keyboard driver... Most likely, you switch it more once
OpenBSD is loaded.

Nope, the keyboard is locked even when I carefully do NOT switch the system
with the KVM: I boot the machine, select the OS with bootmanager GAG, change
timezone in UKC (remember dual boot), OpenBSD boots till the login prompt shows
and then the keyboard is locked most of the time.
I will try a current snapshot and see if this works better.

Hi,
I tried with yesterdays snapshot (25/Feb) and had similar
problems with Linksys KVM. Pulling keyboard cable out of
KVM and putting back flashes the keyboard lights and keyboard
starts working. I have had similar KVM problems since v3.9.
I used Belkin KVM earlier but that caused erratic mouse with X.
Neither of those KVM's had problems with linux.
