You can use "dt" (there is a pkg for it; select the kbd layout before build 
or you'll end up with a Finlandish one) on the console, or X11 with an 
appropriate xmodmap. The console's mapping itself is still hardcoded, afaik.

Your Q700 has a 53c96 controller and uses the esp driver. sbc vs. ncrscsi 
is only relevant for Macs with an older 53c80 controller.

Most likely negative ones. The LC has a distinct memory mapping (probably 
again modified by the 68040 card) that is not known to the kernel.

Sure.

How about a 57k6 ppp link with compression?
