Thanks.... yeah, I figured that. However, in this case I had simply added 
"keymap="us.iso"" to the rc.conf. So, I had to stop all my daemons just to change my 
keymap. Now, this was just on my home box, so I don't really care. But I'm running FreeBSD 
on this home machine as a test to see if I want to put it on my server. This rc.conf thing 
  was another significant strike against it. Someone correct me if I got this wrong...
