Modulo x11 getting in the way (it reads this for you and passes on processed
data), and serial consoles not providing this info so it almost never coming up
anymore (you have to be at a VGA text console to run this). But I remember
wandering through the ioctls at some point...

I never used this busybox command, but again I've read the ioctls and there was
another implementation of this a long time ago I downloaded out of curiosity
years and years ago...
Ah yes, man 4 console_codes, KDSETKEYCODE from #include <linux/kd.h>
Could you send me some example usage for the test suite?

I plan to turn mkroot into a proper full replacement for that, I'm just juggling
too many balls. (Today I'm wrestling with shell variable expansion, which is
recursive even _before_ you add quoting into it.)
