The sparc 2.6 kernel remaps the keyboard to appear to be a pc keyboard
and the mouse to appear to be a ps2 mouse. This broken misbeaviour
(breaking installed systems, reducing functionality) was a deliberate
desision of the kernel upstream.
After booting the 2.6 kernel, ssh in and "dpkg-reconfigure
console-common" to a pc keymap. Edit your xfree86-config file to have
a ps2 mouse.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
