Thanks, I'd already read that. The redirection to a serial port looks like
the option for my environment but I haven't got the right cables. What
cables do you use?

FWIW, your problem appears similar to PR kernel/5001

<http://cvs.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-wrapper?full=yes&textonly=yes&numbe
rs=5001>

I suppose it does except that lacking 'legacy' ports like PS/2 ports, the
usb keyboard attached to the box is useless by the time the 'ddb>' prompt
appears so I can't 'trace/ps/show registers'.

Thinking about it now, I can see that the computer and the OpenBSD
installation might still be active despite the [usb] keyboard being dead. It
is a new install with all the X-related file sets excluded but I did opt to
start sshd by default. This was to be the firat reboot after the
installation.

Would I be able to access and use box via the network even if the usb errors
have effectively killed the 'console'?. That might just be enough until the
usb/kernel-panic issue is resolved.
