To make the console work with Cyrillic characters, edit the /etc/ttys
file and change the console type from 'cons25' to 'cons25r'. Set the
console fonts to use the koi8 character set by assigning the variables
in /etc/rc.conf, and choose an appropriate keyboard map:
font8x14="koi8-r-8x14"
font8x16="koi8-r-8x16"
font8x8="koi8-r-8x8"
keymap="ru.koi8-r"
(or there are koi8-u-.... font variants. Not entirely sure what the
difference is there.) These will become the defaults at the next
reboot. See kbdmap(8)/vidfont(8) for an interactive tool for changing
the console fonts.
Cheers,
Matthew
