If you either change the KEYMAP type to "us" or command out the KEYMAP line, this should fix your problem. > Second oddity is that netdate is not working because its sending out bad > or missing CRC checksums in the UDP packets.

An issue like this came up recently in #gentoo-sparc on IRC and it wasn't conclusive what the problem was as it wasn't always able to be reproduced. The initial theory is that it has something to do with SBUS based network controllers (though only sunhme was actually tested) in the later 2.6 kernels.
