I've never personally made a keymap ... err, however, looking at 
hil_keymaps.c, there certainly appears to be a Swedish keymap.  Here's 
the CVS log:

----------------------------
revision 1.6
date: 1995/12/06 22:13:23;  author: thorpej;  state: Exp;  lines: +85 -1
Keymap for the Swedish HIL keyboard, from Tomas Tengling 
<ltt@cd.chalmers.se>.
----------------------------

But, it looks like it's not in the keymap table by default.  That's a 
goof on my part.. They probably ought to be enabled by default in the 
GENERIC kernel...

Try adding:

options SE_KEYBOARD			# Swedish HIL keyboard map

to your kernel config file, and rebuild your kernel (specifically, you'll 
need to remove hil_keymaps.o, if you want to avoid a "make clean").

Define "try to use my terminal" ... as the conole, or just as an 
auxillary tty?  There is a known bug in the port which causes ill 
behavior (often a spurious interrupt panic) if XON/XOFF flow control is 
enabled on the terminal.  I know what I have to do to take care of that 
problem, but unfortunately, fixing that bug will break the HIL (don't ask..)
Once I figure out how to deal with both at once, I'll fix that...
