Try using /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/gr.elot.acc.kbd as your console keyboard map. This can be enabled by editing /etc/rc.conf and adding the line: keymap="gr.elot.acc" Then, you will probably want to also set a proper console font, for viewing greek text. There is /usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso07-8x16.fnt which you can use as the default 8x16 font of your virtual ttys by adding the following to rc.conf: font8x16="iso07-8x16" An alternative keyboard map and font pair can be found at: http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/files/keramida.el-iso.kbd http://people.freebsd.org/~keramida/files/grfixed Copy `keramida.el-iso.kbd' in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps and `grfixed' in /usr/share/syscons/fonts. Then set in your rc.conf: keymap="keramida.el-iso" font8x16="grfixed" The `keramida.el-iso' map allows switching between English and Greek using the familiar Left_Alt + Shift key combo.
