I think the question is "will NetBSD/i386 support an IBM PC/XT keyboard and
allow the function keys F1-F10 to be mapped." As a newbie I don't have the
definitive answer but I suspect its easy enough to find out: just do a quick
install and see if the main keys work. If they do there's a very good chance
the rest of the keys can be mapped. I imagine its way more difficult to
create key maps for some of those Windows-centric internet keyboards that
come on Compaqs and the like.
