To which header file did you add this #define?

The keyboard mapping is unfortunately imperfect since it's done on the 
basis of translating the ASCII characters returned by the BIOS: i.e. the 
BIOS first applies a US keymap and we then have to mangle the result 
into the closest possible approximation of the desired keymap.

You can see the characters that iPXE is capable of translating in 
hci/keymap/keymap_fi.c.  Is it failing to translate these characters 
(e.g. does Shift-7 fail to translate from '&' to '/')?

Thanks,
