Ok, found this:

/* Ozk:
 * Scan codes between 0x02 -> 0x0d are modified by 0x76
 */
if (scan >= 0x02 && scan <= 0x0d)
	scan += 0x76;

This is done in the IKBD-handler in keyboard.c when ALT is pressed. Why? 
 I could easily modify KeyEdit to add 0x76 to the scancode to these 
keys in the ALT-tables, but I really would like to know why the scancode 
is altered in the first place. I have never seen this documented anywhere.
