Probably, you will ever need to replace the keymap in Minix (nor other operative system). However I needed. Today I made a strange discovery: there was no mapping for the tilde ~ character in the Minix 3’s Spanish keymap.
So I update my copy of /usr/src/drivers/tty/keymaps/spanish.src and found it was true: there was not a mapping. So I decided to assign it to the [Alt Gr + 4] combination like other OSes do.
Apply this patch:

Then execute (as root) in the CLI:
# make && make install
# cp /usr/lib/keymaps/spanish.map /etc/keymap
# reboot
Note: /etc/keymap is the file which contains your current keymap. Replace it with your new binary keymap.
Tada! Log in again a check it out your new key mapping! ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ :D
