Hello,

I have installed NetBSD 1.6 over my dual-usb ibook. I compiled
a new kernel with the cache option for FB and I use a smaller
font, namely SONY8x16. I have a few trouble.

First, console seems black & white only. No color at all
is possible ? (I wish to remain in console, so I don't really
want to use X Window).

On the french keymap, most useful keys like "pipe symbol" and
various other ones are not available. What has to be done to
create a new keymap where usual the usual macos key combos
will produce such caracters ? (option-L for pipe and so on)

When using a smaller font, the left and right side of the
display show unused space, about 4-5 cars on each side.
Can the unique console be tweaked to recover this unused
space when using a 8x16 font ?

Last, if someone want to swap his qwerty ibook2 keyboard
for a french azerty one i would be very interested. I'd
like to get away from that azerty crap there :-)
