Change keymap on console
«

Hello all,
there is a known way how to change the keymap setting for the console in FreeBSD. This can obviously not 1:1 applied in opnsense, as /etc/login.conf is overwritten with each reboot. Selecting German in GUI does not affect keymaps in console !?
How can I use a german keyboard with the console then which survives reboot?
Thanks for your help

/push upward
Does anybody have an idea, where to change the login.conf (template) so that I have a german keyboard layout on the console as default?
It seems to be that with every reboot, an /etc/ login.conf is generated by script (using a template?).
Any hint is highly appreciated

# echo 'keymap="de"' >> /etc/rc.conf
Should automatically apply on reboot, or:
# /etc/rc.d/syscons onestart

Hallo Franco,

and executed
Code:
[Select]
/etc/rc.d/syscons onestart
Configuring vt: keymap blanktime.
keyboard is still US
Rebooted. Unfortunately still US

This works from here, but with vt / VGA console setting. Another UEFI / vt issue in FreeBSD here? :/
Can anybody else confirm or deny?
Cheers,
Franco
