Hi, thanks for the input.

I don't want Flash or JRE, and while I may have overstated dependence on Opera, it wouldn't be a huge deal if I can't have that, either. Now that I think of it, I'm not that interested in Lisp, and the other 51 packages listed seem like things I could feasibly live without.

I'm not at all angry or frustrated, and don't see myself becoming such any time soon. Sorry if it seemed that way. I'm not interested in an Average Joe's No Kinks Desktop OS. I want a project; OpenBSD is a satisfying one.

Since the keyboard works for the second stage bootloader, you could try disabling ACPI:
boot> disable acpi
boot> quit
It went a bit more like this:

Code:
boot> disable acpi
Bad argument 'acpi'
boot> disable apci
boot> quit
boot> boot
(I couldn't remember off the top of my head what ACPI is, and some vague thought flashed through the interear void pertaining to PCI or somesuch, hence such things as APCI. Don't ask.)

It didn't change anything.

I think I'll keep OpenBSD amd64. Better no Opera/plugins/passingly interesting programming languages than no keyboard, hm?

Thanks.
