For LATIN encodings (e.g. ISO8859-1) no conversion is required
(the result of the conversion is identical to the file for
syscons).

You can copy over the file from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/ to
/usr/share/vt/keymaps/, or you can put the full path to the
keymap file into rc.conf (or use it on the command line).

I think we should have a working solution in the upcoming
FreeBSD-10.1.

Since the keymaps for LATIN encodings are compatible between
syscons and newcons, they could be  installed into both places,
syscons/keymaps and vt/keymaps.

Alternatively, kbdcontrol could use the syscons/keymaps
directory as a fallback for keymaps not found in vt/keymaps.
This work-around is currently active in -CURRENT, since there
are only 3 converted keymap files in vt/keymaps and everybody
trying out newcons has the same problem.
