When compiling a FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT kernel, what is required to change the keymap used in single user mode? I originally asked this question on the FreeBSD forums, but was bounced to the mailing list because CURRENT is an unsupported version. I have read an old forum thread on this topic. I have also read the atkbd(4) and ukbd(4) man pages. The relevant parts of my kernel configuration are as follows: # ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- include GENERIC ident MY_KERNEL # AT Keyboard device atkbdc options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=jp.106 device atkbd # USB Keyboard device ukbd options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=jp.106 # everything else # ... # ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- So far as I can tell, these options should be working. I am using a 106 key Japanese keyboard. Single user mode appears to use the keymap for a 101 key standard US layout. I have tried the following values: - jp - jp.106 - jp.106.kbd (not tried recently) Finally, this is a FreeBSD VM running in VirtualBox on OSX. I am 99% sure I am having the same problem on my physical machines. The specific driver almost certainly depends on the hardware. Thanks, -Brendanhelp
