You didn't try to make changes on the default kernel, some optimization,
removing drivers, or what not right?

And your root / partition is not a multi GB in size, just in case right?

My root partition is 10GB in size, following the recommendation of
openbsd101.com.  I have had no other problems with other operating systems,
but perhaps I was just getting lucky with the bootloader being loaded in the
appropriate region for the BIOS.  I will try reinstalling with a smaller
root.

echo "boot" > /etc/boot.conf

But I would try without the keyboard connected and see and also make 
sure your BIOS do not have the wait on keyboard if error setup. Just a 
thought there as well. Not sure about your bios, but some old one did 
have this in there and if not setup properly, just wait on keyboard error.

...

But I would think that would be the source of the problem, but I could 
be wrong. Is your keyboard is USB type by any chance? Not that it should 
make a difference, but if so, may be you have something else connected 
there that give you the problem.

The BIOS seems happy to boot without a keyboard attached (which is PS/2).
It proceeds to load the boot loader where it hangs in the same place, but
this time, I can't press any keys to get it to continue loading. :)

I also tried eliminating the timeout with "boot" in boot.conf, but I still
have this issue, with or without a keyboard being attached.
