            Bug ID: 294106
           Summary: Handbook Localization chapter uses syscons not vt
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Books & Articles
          Assignee: doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bigsneaky@duck.com

The 'Localization' chapter of the Handbook only covers syscons(4) and not its
replacement vt(4).

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-doc/blob/main/documentation/content/en/books/handbook/l10n/_index.adoc

In particular, console setup is described at:

https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/l10n/#setting-console

Note syscons(4) has been deprecated since Nov 2024:

This means there is no mention of e.g. /usr/share/vt/keymaps anywhere in the
Handbook.
