Easy! Just switch to syscons (look at /sys/i386/conf/SYSCONS for
a template) and then add the following to your /etc/rc.local
file:
syscons -k /usr/share/syscons.keymaps/danish.iso.map
Or:
syscons -k /usr/share/syscons.keymaps/danish.cp865.map
I really don't know the difference between the cp865 and iso keymaps,
not being danish!
If you have an old version of the syscons program, you may have
some trouble getting it to work (it has been fixed in the lastest
sources - sorry about that!). The fix is easy, however:
Change:
if (ioctl(fd, VT_GETMODE, mode) == 0)
to:
if (ioctl(fd, VT_GETMODE, &mode) == 0)
Good luck!
