I have installed gentoo-2006.0 on my ultra60 with kernel 2.6.15.But the keyboard does not work well and the keymap is all wrong.
Before I update the kernel 2.4, the keyboard is right but worng in X-windows.

After reading so mang topics in the forum,I get the answer.
Now I make a noitce to who meet the problem:
In the file /etc/con.f/keymaps
if you use the kernel=2.4
and you should set the value KEYMAP="sunt5-us" and the types of keymap in /usr/share/keymaps.In fact there is no problem by using the dafault value.
if you use the kernel=2.6
you must set the value KEYMAP="us" or KEYMAP="".When the system turn to runlevels 3 , all thing are right before loal the keymap (that can found in the dmesg).So you must set the keymap name not in the /usr/share/keymaps .
Of course you can remove the keymaps from boot runlevel with the command : rc-update del kaymaps boot.
I hope those I write above is helpful to gentoo sparc fans.
