I've been playing with this and hope to have a complete answer soon.
You don't mention where you want this to happen, but I assume it is
on a console, as X usually has this working correctly.
But if you do a man kbdcontrol, you can load a keymap with it:
kbdcontrol -l us.emacs.kbd
for instance. But this one is pretty broken, in that arrow keys stop=
working.
kbdcontrol -l us.pc-ctrl-kbd
is a little better but still some problems. You can copy it into your=
directory
and edit it yourself, although the syntax is a little odd. Once you get one=
you
like, you can add it to your /etc/rc.conf:
keymap =3D us.emacs.kbd
man rc.conf for more info.
I hope to post a complete investigation on my FreeBSD weblog.
