Since you fail to tell us which platform you use i'll assume i386.

There isn't a keyboard map for Polish yet. But I can help you with that.
It seems like Poland is using ISO 8859-2 as font, is that correct? There is
no 8859-2 font for console in OpenBSD. But I think most of the characters
exists so it shouldn't be hard to fix the font. I could help with that
too.

Microsoft seems to support two different keyboard maps (see
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/keyboards/keyboards.asp). One they call
Polish (214) and the other is called Polish (Programmers), which do you
want?

The only thing I expect in return is that you test my work...
