Just in case this helps: when booting an OpenBSD 4.0 install CD on
that SunBlade USB seems to work:

ok boot cdrom
[...]
ohci0 at pci0 dev 12 function 3 "Sun USB" rev 0x01: ivec 0x7e4 version 1.0, legacy support
usb0 at ohci0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0 at usb0
uhub0: Sun OHCI root hub, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered
[...]

...but then the kernel panics before I can verify if the keyboard
really works...

I also tried the latest FreeBSD release (6.1): both USB and IDE disk
controller seem to work fine, at least I was able to create file systems
using the system installer from the boot CD.

But I want NetBSD! ;-)

Am I hitting a known problem? Is anybody successfully running NetBSD
on a Blade 100?
