Subject: Panic with USB KVM and 1.5.2

I'm running 1.5.2 on an older PC (200 MHz Pentium). The BIOS doesn't
recognize the USB keyboard I have attached through a KVM switch but NetBSD
finds and uses it with a "keyboard" command in the /etc/wscons.conf file
My problem is when I switch to the other system on the KVM switch NetBSD
panics.
I read in the man pages that if the console device is not present a panic
will occur; however, I've actually got two console keyboards, one is the
PS/2 port (that doesn't have a keyboard plugged in) and the other is
through the KVM switch.
Has anyone run NetBSD on port-i386 through a USB KVM switch? If so,
how? Did you use xdm to come up in X11?
