On FreeBSD 7.2-STABLE it seems to be impossible to map the Backspace key to '\' and '|'. Here's what I did: Change /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.unix.kbd: --- us.unix.kbd- 2009-07-17 16:43:35.000000000 -0700 +++ us.unix.kbd 2009-08-05 08:08:26.000000000 -0700 @@ -17,7 +17,8 @@ 011 '0' ')' nop nop '0' ')' nop nop O 012 '-' '_' us us '-' '_' us us O 013 '=' '+' nop nop '=' '+' nop nop O - 014 del del bs bs del del bs bs O +# 014 del del bs bs del del bs bs O + 014 '\' '|' fs fs '\' '|' fs fs O 015 ht btab nop nop ht btab nop nop O 016 'q' 'Q' dc1 dc1 'q' 'Q' dc1 dc1 C 017 'w' 'W' etb etb 'w' 'W' etb etb C @@ -46,7 +47,8 @@ 040 ''' '"' nop nop ''' '"' nop nop O 041 esc esc esc esc esc esc debug esc O 042 lshift lshift lshift lshift lshift lshift lshift lshift O - 043 '\' '|' fs fs '\' '|' fs fs O +# 043 '\' '|' fs fs '\' '|' fs fs O + 043 bs bs del del del del bs bs O 044 'z' 'Z' sub sub 'z' 'Z' sub sub C 045 'x' 'X' can can 'x' 'X' can can C 046 'c' 'C' etx etx 'c' 'C' etx etx C and run: kbdcontrol -k /dev/console -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.unix.kbd AFAICT this worked under 7.1 release. If I try a different character than backslash, e.g., 014 '0' '|' fs fs '\' '|' fs fs O it works. Is this a regression or user error?

The diff looks good and should work fine.

That -k options doesn't make sense at all. Actually I'm
surprised that it doesn't give you an error message.
Please use this command:
kbdcontrol -l us.unix.kbd < /dev/ttyv0
