I have noted this behaviour already in FreeBSD 7; in 5, I had both german settings for AT and USB keyboard - WORKING. Maybe support has been dropped? Is ignored? Hmmm... Anyway, I never noticed the boot loader was interested in that setting. It became active when booting into single user mode ("boot -s", which had to be entered according to the US keymap). This is the whole set of options for the kernel: options SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions SC_DFLT_FONT=iso options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="german.iso" options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="german.iso" I also included the ISO font for the syscons driver so the german specific letters could be displayed. Coming back to your basic question: I don't think there's a way to modify the early stage loader keymap. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
