Lee,
have you looked in /stand/sysinstall and selected the "configure" =
option, then "Console" then, Keymap and make sure you have the "UK" =
keymap selected....
Let me know how that goes.

Subject: Command History & Keyboard Setup
Hello,
I have just installed my first FreeBSD system, 4.6 release. I hope =
that someone will be able to help me with a couple of strange problems.
I use a standard PS/2 UK keyboard, when logging in as root the =A3 =
sign does not work it simply beeps, even though it does when logged in =
as a normal user. I am using UK Codepage 850. =20
Also when I am logged in as a normal user I am unable to use the up / =
down cursor keys to navigate the command history, even though this does =
work when logged in as root.
Perhaps these 2 problems are just quirks of FreeBSD, I used to use =
Linux where I had neither of these problems.
Has anyone else experienced this problem, or just possibly has some =
ideas on how to resolve the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone offers.
Lee.
