:)Yes.  Assuming you're using the standard keyboard map
:)(/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd), make a copy with an

:)This is described in the man page kbdmap(5), which was only written a

Nope, Doesn't work.  I copied us.iso.kbd to us.iso.kbd_cwa.  I made
the above changes to keycode 083.  I then added "keymap=us.iso.kbd_cwa"
to my /etc/rc.conf file.  Finally I re-booted.  When my system came
back up I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del expecting a "halt" to be performed.
Instead a "reboot" occurred, just as though I had done nothing to the
keymap file.

Is there a way to determine if us.iso.kbd_cwa is even used?  man kbdmap
shows nothing, and I could find nothing in dmesg.
