During the FreeBSD installation process we can select a keyboard layout. In my case I chose Spanish but, when I logged into the system, there were no accented vowels or Euro symbol in console. In order to enable these characters I modified /etc/rc.conf and /etc/login.conf following these steps:
1. At the end of /etc/rc.conf I added:
2. In /etc/login.conf, just after the line umask=022: I added:
3. Finally, I run the following command to register modifications:
and rebooted the system for the changes to take effect.
1. At the end of /etc/rc.conf I added:
Code:
[B]font8x8="iso15-8x8"
font8x14="iso15-8x14"
font8x16="iso15-8x16"
scrnmap="NO"
keymap="spanish.iso.acc"[/B]
2. In /etc/login.conf, just after the line umask=022: I added:
Code:
umask=022:[B]\
charset=ISO-8859-15:\
lang=es_ES.ISO8859-15:[/B]
3. Finally, I run the following command to register modifications:
Code:
# cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
