The keypad keys (etc.) are supported by the new keyboard driver
found in src/sys/dev/sun but I don't think anyone has taken on
the task of making the sparc port use that driver. I think it
would also improve serial input reliability on the sparc if the
new tty driver therein were used. It certainly helped to fix
some flow-control problems for the sun3 port...
