Jay,

You can fix the swapped key problem.  I haven't been able to fix the
NumLock reset or to give the right Alt key the same powers the left one
has.  To swap the keys, create a file in /etc/rc.d with the following
lines in it (I call mine swapkey.rc):

:
if [ -x /etc/cons ]; then
	echo "	Swapping right Alt and Ctrl keys\c" >/dev/console
	/etc/cons swapkey 96 97
	echo "." >/dev/console
fi
