We have a board with usually bad keyboard port (plugging in a keyboard usually prevents booting, and if it boots to DOS and then linux, the keyboard then suddenly freezes up).

We borrowed a USB keyboard and booted with David's USB boot disk, which let us use the keyboard, but 10 sec after a successful boot we got not a freezeup but

Unable to handle kernel nullpointer dereference.

A long list of memory registers.

Kernel panic (aieeee!)

No more response to anything but reboot.

Is this something fixable or familiar to anyone else?

Anyway, the USB boot disk was helpful for diagnosing an additional problem.

Will there be a 2-floppy BL3.40 boot disk pair coming soon which can handle a USB keyboard at boot time?
