Yes, here is what you have to do to make Icelandic keyboard working:
file rc.conf needs to contain
font8x16="iso-8x16"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x8="iso-8x8"
keymap="icelandic.iso.acc"
lang environment set to is_IS.ISO_8859-1
(shtt.... thanks Julian, I looked at the environ vars and I somhow
mistyped in login.conf, tcsh is better now)
Well with that installation you should be able to get some strange chars
when you hit / ; { - and ´a ´e and so on.
I am going to write how-to for icelandic, and it might end up with
writing genereal how-to for accented keyboard.
