[ES40-developers] NetBSD Panic Keyboard problems -- not ES40's Fault?

[brian w. <bdw...@in...>]

Looks like there is/was a bug in netbsd which looks suspiciously like
the problem I was having with the keyboard when NetBSD panicked:

Exactly.

panic: pci_display_console: no device at 255/255/0
Stopped at 	0xfffffc000096ac54:	or	zero,s6,sp
db>

and keyboard in ddb is not working. Some keys don't do anything,
backspace gives backtick (`).

It's an AlphaPC 164LX.

Its possible that the keyboard bug part of this is still in NetBSD and
nobody has fixed it because its not something that's ever really
supposed to happen....
