This smells like bad edge/level interrupt configuration for the kebyoard
controller. Are you using a PS/2 or USB keyboard? How is the keyboard
recognized by OpenBSD? If it's a USB keyboard recognized by the kernel
as PS/2, you might want to tinker with the `USB legacy keyboard
emulation' settings in your BIOS.
