I'm thinking if you saw the keyboard once, you'd slap yourself in the forehead and say "Oh, of course you'd wire that key layout into that matrix." The inverse problem, unfortunately, is not so simple... (Naturally, a staggered key layout is a definite possibility.)

And is it just me, or does "M" seem really odd?

Now, I'm stuck wondering whether I should go obtain and watch all Lost episodes, looking for a puzzle like that. On one hand, the probability that ragnar was dropping an obscure referential hint is miniscule. On the other hand, the geek glory and fame (within the IT community, anyway) to be gained if one does decipher such a hint defies mathematical analysis... (No, actually it doesn't; mathematical analysis conquers all, and indicates that someone who's watched Lost would beat me anyway, were there aught to be found.)
