Ok, I managed to find a boot-cd that got me up enough to mount my rootfs and do a little fixup. Ummmm, that was a YDL iso just cause the server I found for it was faster than any of the half-dozen mirrors I tried to download a woody iso from.
Thankfully the update process saved my old /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file and restoring it fixed things nicely. Now for the odd part: A quick scan of both my old kmap and the updated one indicate that they both are linux keycode maps (not ADB) and my kernel (homebuilt using make-kpkg so the update didn't touch it) is compiled with CONFIG_MAC_ADBKEYCODES turned off. Why did this happen? I'm guessing it's a result of me just pressing "YYYYYYYY..." to all the config questions during the update. Perhaps I wound up installing a dvorak kmap or something. I'm going to check /usr/share... to try and match up the kmap that was installed and figure out what it is.
