By changing the keyboard scan code mapping in the kernel.  Swapping the "ESC"
and "`/~" keys is also very helpful.

If the system you have contains "ldminit" program, you are half-way there.
adb can also be helpful.  Perhaps I should write a quick patching hack to 
do this key-swap thing...  Jack?  Want to do it?
