The problem is with:

options 	PCKBD_CNATTACH_MAY_FAIL

The option was commented out in my config.

That (my keyboard is USB) I will not have a keyboard during the boot
process, without the option, OK. But that it crashes...

Obviously this "option" is not an option anymore so it should be on and
not settable---unless someone can find why it crashes now, from 8.2,
while it didn't before (the framebuffer and related support seems to
be now a lot of code so the culprit is probably to be found there).

Best,
