That would be this line in /etc/sysctl.conf:
dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes=1
or, in the running system,
echo 1 >/proc/sys/dev/mac_hid/keyboard_sends_linux_keycodes
If this doesn't fix it, see whether the above command gives an error
(you'd need to do tat logged-in remote, though..), and report that back.
