No trouble at all, I follow base/head (and stable/{8,9,10}) on various 
VMs at home only to know what's ahead. ;-)

Since neither kbdcontrol(1) nor I mind using the old syscons keymap
file norwegian.iso.kbd, wouldn't it be nice if kbdcontrol(1), while in
vt(4) mode, would search for keymaps in /usr/share/syscons/keymaps
after searching for them in /usr/share/vt/keymaps?

E.g.:

Index: usr.sbin/kbdcontrol/kbdcontrol.c

        char    *postfix[] = {blank, dotkbd, NULL};

        if (is_vt4())
-               prefix[2] = vt_keymap_path;
+               prefix[1] = vt_keymap_path;
        cp = getenv("KEYMAP_PATH");
        if (cp != NULL)
                asprintf(&(prefix[0]), "%s/", cp);
