I have a 6.2 box on which I intend to set up a web server

issue before but only managed to solve it at the X level (via
xorg.conf). Now I need to solve it at the console level.

The Handbook has a lot of ideas but it seems focused on a per user
basis instead of on a system level basis. Then again, maybe I just
don't understand what its trying to say.

I would also need to toggle back and forth between English and
French.

Have a look at the keymaps for French in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps':

$ ( cd /usr/share/syscons/keymaps; ls -l *fr* )
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 9148 Feb 2 15:29 fr.dvorak.acc.kbd
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 7702 Feb 2 15:29 fr.dvorak.kbd

swissfrench.cp850.kbd -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 8577 Feb 2 15:29
swissfrench.iso.acc.kbd -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel - 7766 Feb 2
15:29 swissfrench.iso.kbd $

Yes, I tried

fr.iso.acc.kbd
fr.iso.kbd
fr_CA.iso.acc.kbd

Maybe I need to inform FreeBSD about the layout of my keyboard. All I
get are beeps when I hit the special French accent keys.
