A possible complication – I don't know whether this is a bug, or something is
not yet documented. Abstracted from
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1oyok37/bsdconfig_vt_keymap/>:
- when booting up to single user mode, the vt key map seems to be wrong for
(at least) uk.kbd for a United Kingdom keyboard.
Keying # results in
\
and so on.
Not reproducible when dropping down from multi-user mode to single user mode,
however if (for example) the operator has forgotten the password, then the
operator can not login to run:
shutdown now
