It is a good thing you're not using NetBSD/i386 with a PS/2 _and_ USB
keyboard! Backspace ("<-") on the PS/2 keyboard generates '^?' while
the USB keyboard generates '^H' for the very same key.
Talk about confusing! I can't switch back and forth (why would I want
to you ask?) without having to do an 'stty erase <-' each time. :(
Why this is I can not say, for brighter minds than mine have lit the
way.
