You might want to check out the loadkeys(1) and keytables(5) man pages,
and the files in /usr/share/lib/keytables. I think that the various
layouts defined there are chosen with the /Input/Keyboard_Type defaults
entry. The named files in /usr/share/lib/keytables appear to be hard
links to the layout_?? files. It should be pretty easy for someone
familiar with the Dvorak layout to generate (and post <-- hint) an
appropriate table for a Type4 keyboard.
These man pages are marked as SunOS Release 4.0.1, they are not marked as
386i specific. I think that the 386i is the only Sun currently available
with the type 4 keyboard referred to in loadkeys(1). At least until
April... :-)
