Ok, my last email ;-)

Just booted OpenBSD on it:
adb0 at macobio0 irq 25: via-pmu 3 targets
aed0 at adb0 addr 0: ADB Event device
akbd0 at adb0 addr 2: iBook keyboard with inverted T (ISO layout)
wskbd0 at akbd0 (mux 1 ignored for console) console keyboard, using
wsdisplay0

As said, this works fine. Not that I don't like OpenBSD, but I like to
create an uniform look
and feel on my homeboxes, and want NetBSD  on all machines. :-)

A quick browse in ofw_machdep.c from the OpenBSD project shows they handle
the keyboard different, it traverses the whole openfirmware tree for
references of keyboard
and works from there if I understand correctly, hence no confusion about
'pseudo/psuedo' I think.

After spending a couple of hours regarding this problem I can conclude I
seem to be one
of the very few who experiences this according to the information I can get
my hands on.
I also think that fiddling around in the kernel code is a bit to much for
me, unless it would mean
changing some simple things like directly passing the correct value for
stdin in e.g. machdep.c
Unfortunatly I can't build macppc kernels here right now without setting up
a cross compile environnement
on my router box. I'm a bit scared about that, since it's the uplink for
quite some people over
here.

Maybe someone here knows some other things I can try?

Axel
