Copy one of /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* to /etc/keymaps,
edit it, and put this in /etc/rc.conf: keymap="/etc/keymap"
Unless you used "console" generically.

Here's some junk from my .Xresources file (see X manpage)
that might answer your next question too.
XTerm*background: grey80
XTerm*foreground: black
XTerm*font: 10x20
!! Next resource is ignored if put on VT100 widget only.
!! But even when set to "xterm", it seems to ignore the xterm entry (with li=65) of /etc/termcap and use 24-lines.
!! Before adding this 11'jul'01, TERM=xterm (don't know how it got set) I found this one in "/etc/termcap".
!!XTerm.termName: xterm-xf86-v32 This started causing problems.
XTerm.termName: xterm

!# In the scrollbar we map buttons 5 & 4 to 1 and 2 otherwise, core dump
