Well I appreciate these suggestions and wish one were the one that 
resolved the issue.

When I said "the keyboard is unresponsive" I meant that the keyboard 
connected via the serial or NIC connection stopped responding. I did try 
the serial flow control suggestion and a different PSU, but to no avail.
I do have OpenBSD 4.0 running on a number of other soekris 4801 devices, 
so I do not believe this is an OS issue.

Unfortunately there is nothing in the syslog to indicate the cause of 
the hang/freeze. And there is no panic message on the console.

So any other insights would be appreciated.

Thanks.
