Nothing.  I assume that you have an extended keyboard attached to a
II-series Mac?  This is a bug that was recently fixed in -current (and I
think in 1.3.1 if binaries are built).  Since Puma is no longer Puma, I
can't suggest an easy workaround.  If you can ftp into ftp.macbsd.com, you
could pick up another kernel that would work better, but for now you will
have to use something other than an extended keyboard...

hmmmmm....
