Do you, by chance, have a German keyboard, or is it US ASCII?  We 
currently support US, UK, and Sweedish.  If you do have a different 
keyboard, go ahead and make a keyboard map for it (see 
/sys/arch/hp300/dev/kbd* for details) and I'll be glad to commit it to 
the tree.  Unfortunately, until you have a keyboard map that will work 
with your keyboard, you'll have to use a serial console...
