hi christos-

    i tracked this down.   the problem was introduced in 
rev 1.2 of sys/dev/pckbc/wskbdmap_mfii.c partly in response 
to PR#6089 (i say "partly" because the real issue with that 
PR was the backspace key, not the delete key).

    see:

	http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=6089
	http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/dev/pckbc/wskbdmap_mfii.c

i'm ok with what was done except for the delete key.   i would
like to apply the following diff to revert the behavior of the
delete key back to what it was before.  (and what it currently
is with pccons...)
