Switching layout in vmm linux guest on OpenBSD host with english layout only

[Martin]

I'm running headless Debian guest with two keyboard layouts. *.qcow2 qemu image 
has been imported from Debian host.
Graphical mode of vmm and qemu with Debian guest access using vncviewer for 
both hosts. The guest itself has vncserver to share screen using headless setup.

Layout switching works fine in qemu on Debian host even the host has single 
english layout.

But layout switching doesn't work in vmm and can't be changed in any way. 
OpenBSD host uses single english layout as Debian host.

Looking any solution on how to fix it. Please suggest.

OpenBSD vmm/vmd(8) doesn't emulate a keyboard, so there can be no
keyboard layouts.

This sounds like something you should be configured in the VNC
client or server..
