you should check that fr.iso.kbd is part of your /usr/share/syscons/keymaps
directory, if so add the line
kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/fr.iso.kbd
at the end of /etc/rc.local
(if not, get one at ftp.ibp.fr:/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/share/....)
this will activate french keyboard during the next reboot but for now, just
run this command.
If you want to run X, you also can add a file .xmomaprc in your home directory,
containing something like:
keycode 0x0A = ampersand 1
keycode 0x0B = eacute 2 asciitilde
keycode 0x0C = quotedbl 3 numbersign
keycode 0x0D = apostrophe 4 braceleft
keycode 0x0E = parenleft 5 bracketleft
keycode 0x0F = minus 6 bar
keycode 0x10 = egrave 7 grave
keycode 0x11 = underscore 8 backslash
keycode 0x12 = ccedilla 9 asciicircum
keycode 0x13 = agrave 0 at
keycode 0x14 = parenright degree bracketright
keycode 0x15 = equal plus braceright
keycode 0x71 = Mode_switch
clear Mod1
clear Mod5
add Mod1 = Alt_L
add Mod5 = Mode_switch
and add the following in your .xinitrc (for startx) or .xsession (for xdm)
xmodmap .xmodmaprc
Note that I bought a US keyboard 2 years ago, and don't use the french :-)
