My console driver 'codrv' does 8859-1, and also allows *absolute* remapping
of the keyboard and loading of X11-bdf-fonts (for text mode, with a ISO-LATIN-*)
mapping. Find it at ftp.uni-duisburg.de:/pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/keycap
(or .../codrv for an ALPHA version of the next release).
Hope that helps.
