kbdcontrol: how to get us.iso on ukbd & en.iso on atkbd ?

[Julian H. Stacey]

Hi hackers@
Am I missing something obvious, or is a bit more needed in man kbdcontrol ?
	/etc/rc.conf		keymap="uk.iso.kbd"
sets laptop internal keycaps to English OK,  But
What kbdcontrol[s] set an external USB keyboard (only)
to eg American (or German etc), while leaving internal in English ?
	(American or German will here later depend on devd.conf vendor id, or
	 ~/.login . (de.iso.kbd useful for test as it toggles Y/Z )).

( I don't have a problem with devd.conf,
	I've got that working fine for X with xmodmap (as long as X 
	session has already started) using /etc/rc.conf & devd.conf .
  	devd_flags="-f /site/etc/devd/jhs.conf"

)

kbdmap 	# Works OK but sets both internal & external keyboard maps.
