I finally realized that my keyboard matches the "hungarian" setting in hpcboot. I am using the version of hpcboot from the current distribution. When I run it I get an error "no symbol and/or string table in binary (not fatal)", but Nikos' kernel boots OK for me nonetheless. "/", "|", and the other major keys work fine when I select "hungarian".
OK, I just realized that Nikos version (which contains European instead of Hungarian) also works when I select European. I had been testing by trying the "alt-gr" characters, but now I know they do not work, I see that European also gives me working special chars, and Nikos' version gives no error message. Is there a way to find out a version number in hpcboot?
Names are in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h (sans KS_ prefix). Use "wsconsctl map" to print current mapping.
Actually, I have not need for those "international" characters. I might try to remap alt-gr as alt, since I cannot use it anyway.
