If there is no ASCII code to use then it can't be converted to anything
The <>| key is not present on a US keyboard at all.
: should map to ö
" to ä
{ to å

bios_console.c seems to be lacking any good DBG lines to show what it
detects and what it translates to.

But as a Swede myself I must ask why you would like to have Swedish
layout in iPXE - I have never found the need for it and think it is
just more confusing at that stage of booting.
