A possible complication – I don't know whether this is a bug, or something is
not yet documented. Abstracted from
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1oyok37/bsdconfig_vt_keymap/>: 

- when booting up to single user mode, the vt key map seems to be wrong for 
  (at least) uk.kbd for a United Kingdom keyboard.

Keying # results in
       \ 
       and so on. 

Not reproducible when dropping down from multi-user mode to single user mode,
however if (for example) the operator has forgotten the password, then the
operator can not login to run: 

    shutdown now
