My reshuffle was just based on the syntactic rule that when there's
a modifying noun and a genuine adjective both modifying the same
noun, the adjective comes first; it's "strange keyboard layouts",
not "keyboard strange layouts".
"Possible FreeBSD keyboards" are the keyboard-layouts that are
available for FreeBSD (the things you switch between by using the
command referred to in the previous line). FreeBSD apparently uses
things like /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/finnish.iso.kbd - effectively
a keymap file, but formatted quite differently from the ones I see
in /usr/share/keymaps.
