There aren't any special SGI keys.

I didn't have one PS/2 keyboard that didn't get along with my Octane
(lots of missed keystrokes, although works fine on many PCs), but others
worked fine.

I used a Sun gdm-20e20 on my Octane.  You need SoG, which shouldn't be
difficult.  You may need to pull out the sense pins of the video cable
to keep things from getting confused, although I had no trouble.
