Slash ("/") in Thinkpad T420 ABNT keyboard

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 with a Brazilian ABNT keyboard layout. This is a rather unique layout where the slash is between the context menu key and the arrow keys.

enter image description here

However, the slash key does not work! How could I make it work?

You can change the system-wide keyboard configuration (including TTY), by running:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

as described in this SO answer.

To choose the thinkpadz60 layout shown in @brandizzi's answer, select the "IBM ThinkPad Z60m/Z60t/Z61m/Z61t" layout in the list. It should be above the "Generic PC" layout:
