	Here's an update incase someone cares.... I now believe that the keyboard check is not firmware - It's UNIX 3.2x. It appears that UNIX 4.0X doesn't do a keyboard check, but not sure. Options are: 1. Upgrade UNIX 2. re-map keyboard after boot. 3. Disable keyboard check. 1 is probably out for the near future. 2 is a kloodge. I really want to go with 3, but haven't figured out how yet. If anyone knows please send me mail. I'll be carrying this discussion over to the DIGTIAL_UNIX conference. Thanks
