Cannot set the keymap to anything other than the default. This is mainly because /etc/rc.d/syscons is never run so I have created the following patch for my system.

The patch works by first setting the keymap value in the new file "/var/etc/rc.conf.user" this has been placed in /var/etc to make sure it survives after an upgrade.
The new file is then run from the end of /etc/defaults/rc.conf this also enables the ability to override any default settings.
Secondly once the keymap is set correctly "/etc/rc.d/syscons start" needs to be executing this is done in "/etc/rc" just after the
keyboard has been set.

(The diff is also attached in .txt file.)
