Trying to desperately remember the default US layout just to edit rc.conf and reboot is a pain. Preferably as a warning at boot time like 'keymap "danish.iso.kbd" is deprecated. The new name is "da_DK.kbd". Please edit /etc/rc.conf'.

Yeah, that's important.  It should be straightforward for us to
identify an old keymap variable (test that sysctl kern.vty=vt and that
/usr/share/vt/keymaps/${keymap} does not exist), and then just have a
big switch statement of old and new names.
