Hmm, well I'm not as well versed in console-tools (or anything for that matter) as I should be but... I think it is not a problem with console tools, as it can be configured to keep the kernel keymap later. Perhaps an option in boot-floppies to not touch the keymap for people like me who have very odd input devices (the keyboard is from an Apple //gs; I like it because it is very compact). It may not be worth fixing though; I don't imagine very many people use those particular keyboards. I believe the same model was also used on some 68k macs from maybe 1989?-1993? I can get you the model number when I get home if you need it. I wish I know more about these things so I could submit better information... If you would like me to obtain information using my box and send it to you, I'd be happy to, just let me know what you would like done. I can probably dig up another scsi device somewhere and install again if more details in that regard would help.
