Well, quoting pckbd(4): ``The list of built-in mappings doesn't follow
any logic. It grew as people submitted what they needed.''
It looks like you are the first person to dare asking for a romanian
keyboard layout.

Err, aren't your commas ogoneks, by chance? wscons is already a PITA
calling haceks `carons' (yes, I know this is legit, but it is just the
wrong name), please don't add any more confusion in there (-:

Yes, this can be done with wsconsctl. But - pardon me - I am too lazy to
give this a try, so here is a diff to add a romanian keyboard layout to
the kernel. If you have an usb keyboard, you'll need to run `make' in
sys/dev/usb after applying the diff. Also, you'll need to copy
wsksymdef.h to /usr/include/dev/wscons and rebuild /sbin/wsconsctl and
/sbin/kbd to be able to use `ro' as a keyboard layout.
