I am not familiar with the -w option for wsconsctl. What does it do?

See also the kbd(8) command. In 3.9 at least, there is a kbd-related
section in /etc/rc:
if [ -f /sbin/kbd -a -f /etc/kbdtype ]; then
kbd `cat /etc/kbdtype`
This allows you to make the keyboard be changed anytime the system comes
up in multiuser mode (specifically, when rc is run), with the following
as root:
# echo "us" >/etc/kbdtype

e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the

the lines of "Push the button." --Peter Anspach's Evil Overlord List
