But what have you done?
In my /etc/login.conf I have:
da_DK:Danish users:\
:charset=iso-8859-1:\
:lang=da_DK.ISO8859-1:\
:tc=default:
Then I set my login class in the master.passwd to da_DK. Having diffe-
rent login classes this way allows you to support multiple languages for
users. Otherwise, you can set these option in the default: section
without the need to change your login class. You need to run cap_mkdb on
login.conf after that (I think).
In /etc/ttys I have set all consoles to cons25l, but this only affects
when you login directly. Finally in /etc/rc.conf
keymap="danish.iso" # keymap in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/*(or NO).
font8x8="iso-8x8"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x16="iso-8x16"
For you, whatever above looks danish, change to portugeese. I recommend
you sticking to things that looks like iso-standards for interopera- bility.
I think this is about it.
Cheers, Erik
