However, in this case I had simply added "keymap="us.iso"" to the rc.conf. So, I had to stop all my daemons just to change my keymap. Now, this was just on my home box, so I don't really care. But I'm running FreeBSD on this home machine as a test to see if I want to put it on my server. This rc.conf thing was another significant strike against it. Someone correct me if I got this wrong... b
