I have a UK keyboard here with 7f generated by the bar+backslash key.
Turns out that to make it works I have to use dumpkeys to discover
that the keycode I want is 86 (decimal), and then running
"setkeycodes 7f 86" makes the key work.  And yes, that is a hex 7f
with no '0x' followed by a decimal 86!

Before this will work with a PS/2 keyboard, you need a new kernel,
2.4.16-pa21 or better, as there was a bug in the set/getkeycode code.
