 A few lines in addition to what Christopher wrote. If you meant the Qube's
front-panel buttons than the answer is 'no' as the boot loader supports
neither the LCD nor the keypad as of yet although I agree that it could be a
nice feature. OTOH, if you hold all four cursor buttons at the boot time, the
Firmware will try to load /usr/games/.doug kernel (I assume this path should
also be located on the ext2 partition -- never tried it myself).

 Once you have access to the serial console, you may want to use 'nbsd='
boot loader parameter at the Firmware prompt.
