James,

It depends on which vesrion of FBSD you are using. For 6.0 P1 consiole
the type 5 works out of the box ish. I say ish as the leds don't work
and the only keymap appears to be US. I don't think the mouse works at
all.

With x-windows try this:

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Keyboard0"
         Driver      "kbd"
         Option "Protocol"    "standard"
         Option "AutoRepeat"  "500 30"
         Option "XkbRules"    "sun"
         Option "XkbModel"    "type5"
         Option "XkbLayout"   "gb"
         Option "XkbKeycodes" "sun(type5)"
 EndSection

Change XkbLayout to your layout. BTW again it sort of works some keys
are wrong and the leds don't work. I haven't bothered any further as I
use ssh & vnc to connect and that works correctly.

The mouse works though /dev/cuau3 as there is no sysmouse.
