The Linux console driver allows you to assign the meta key to an alt
key, which is understood by emacs, jove and other programs. Is there any
way to get this with the FreeBSD console? The man pages for the kbd
stuff weren't very helpful on this, and the kbd maps don't show any
examples that indicate this is possible, as they all seem to map alt-key
to key.
