What font and keymap > are you using? keymap="uk.cp850" I guess I use the corresponding syscons font file as I don't have a declaration in rc.conf. You should be able to use vidcontrol(1) to load new sycons fonts. You can compile in your default syscons(4) font once you get it working. > And, what actually is the process for reporting > bugs or getting help with problem like this. Any advice appreciated > even from Mr Puchar :)) For reporting bugs: send-pr(1). This isn't a bug though, as my UK keyboard works fine on 7.2-RC2 Your problem can probably be fixed by: # vidcontrol -f 8x16 /usr/share/syscons/fonts/cp850-8x16.fnt # kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/uk.cp850.kbd or you could use the iso keymap, I guess.
