Thanks for the hint for where to start looking. I've had a first look and
a first go at this, with somewhat limited success.

My thought was to copy the swedish layout I found there. After all,
Norwegian, Swedish and Danish keyboards are alike enough that to
increase profits at the buyer's loss, many keyboards now come with
three letters on each key for each of ÆØÅ (the Norwegian keys), avoiding
keycaps for each country.

I noticed by the way, that even before messing with this, when setting
the Swedish layout, I saw this:

# wsconsctl -w encoding=sv
encoding -> fi

Which doesn't seem quite right.

Anyway, with the diff appended below, I can set "Norwegian" encoding:

nbsparc2# wsconsctl -w encoding=no
encoding -> no

However, there are keys missing. Right of P and right of L the keys
doesn't respond. The \ (to the left of backspace) also isn't responding.
I do know that qemu is able to send something here, since it works booting
sunos 4.1 in qemu.

Lacking real hardware, to get things right, I'm not certain what can
come of this.
