Re: [9fans] setting up a differnet keyboard

Thanks for reply.

putting kbmap=uk into plan9.ini
gives a message

          boot: can't open kbd map: 'uk' file does not exist.

So I tried    kbmap=/sys/lib//kbmap/uk in plan9.ini   This didn't work
either. I got the message

          boot: can't open kbd map: 'sys' file does not exist.

Not sure what the next step is, so any help is much appreciated
