French keyboard in single user

Hi,

My computer: laptop Samsung R730
My keyboard: French PS/2 (I think)

Is it possible to configure a French keyboard in the kernel to work in single user mode? :\

I know there are two lines that I can write in the Kernel.

Code: 
options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=fr.iso.acc

but it is for a USB keyboard, I think.

If somebody has a solution... It will be great for me. Because writing under vi with a French keyboard under single user mode is a nightmare for me. :(

Thanks.
 
The UKBD_* variables are indeed for USB keyboards. But if I read atkbd(4) correctly there are similar variables for PS/2 keyboards.
 
As long as /usr is mounted you can just use # /etc/rc.d/syscons start and your console settings from /etc/rc.conf will be set in single-user as well. That is what I do.

Look here for some (french) tips about keyboard.

my kernel file:
Code: 
device          kbdmux          # keyboard multiplexer
options     ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions     ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=fr.iso.acc

Code: 
david:~>grep kbdmux /boot/device.hints
hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1"
 
It works...

Hi,

It works! ;)
