The standard script for this is:

	case `awk '$1 == "Model:" { print $2 }' /proc/hardware` in
		Atari)
			# ...
			;;
		Amiga)
			# ...
			;;
		Macintosh)
			# ...
			;;
		Motorola) # MVME
			# ...
			;;
	esac

It looks at /proc/hardware that contains a line Model:, containing
e.g.

  Model: Atari TT
  Model: Amiga 3000

Yes. And the kernel default map doesn't exist as a *.map file... it is
only in the kernel. Best use the US keymap as default.
