>Description:
Firstly thank you for including the smaller islands around the UK mainland, particularly Guernsey (where I live), Jersey and the Isle of Man.  This is a nice touch on your part.

When selecting one of these locations from the 'Country Selection' page the default option on the following 'System Console Keymap' is 'USA ISO'.  Could this be changed to imitate the default behaviour of selecting 'United Kingdom' and getting 'UK ISO'?

Many thanks,

>How-To-Repeat:
Begin installation of FreeBSD 7.0 from CD-ROM (I used the i386, but suspect the same applies for all 7.0 architectures).

>From the 'Country Selection' page select from Guernsey, Jersey or Isle of Man.

The following screen 'System Console Keymap' defaults to 'USA ISO'
>Fix:
Unsure how the 'default' is chosen but these locations should be mapped to the same method as selecting 'United Kingdom'.
