With VT enabled I’m trying to change the keyboard map. I succeeded in doing this on other boxes, but all attempts fail on a ThinkPad X41. kbdmap fails and so does kbdcontrol. I do need some hints please, as entry into /etc/rc.conf has no effect.
Could you be more specific? As per the Wiki, neither kbdmap(1) nor kbdcontrol(1) are completely ready for vt(4) yet, but setting the map in /etc/rc.conf should work. I guess you have already adapted the keymap line according to the hint provided during startup, haven't you?
By the way, kbdcontrol(1), which I never used before, is working well here (FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE, and you?). What do you mean exactly when you say it “fails”? Does it output the new key map, or give an error?
