|o| I've just installed FreeBSD2.0R from Walnut Creek. The system is up
|o| and running but the keyboard mappings are wrong for some keys.
|o| 
|o| How do I change things for a UK keyboard?
|o| 
|o| I've found...
|o| 	/usr/share/examples/syscons/setrus
|o| 	kbdcontrol
|o| 	/usr/share/syscons/keymaps
|o| 
|o| Is it just a matter of
|o| 
|o| 	kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/uk.iso.kbd
|o| 
|o| or do I have to build a system with UKKEYMAP in ./sys/i386/isa/kbdtables.h
|o| or somewhere similar?
|o| 
|o| Thanks for any advice.

Yeah that's about the size of it... my keyboard maps correctly when using the
file uk.....850 (I can't remember the actual name but if you need it I'll find
it)... Stick it in your /etc/rc.local an that should sort it out nicely...

Any problems, drop me a line...
