Sorry Oleg, I won't bite. Besides as a previous poster pointed out ( I
wondered where he learned this since I am not aware of it being documented)
you can remap just those two keys using the console MDMODE. See that
posting on how to do it. Furthermore, I don't know if AIX PS/2 1.x has
ldminit and even if it did, it can only alter the data segment of the
kernel, and I don't believe your mappings live there. Finally, adb is
not part of the product, dbx is the supported debugger. Oh Well.
