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 Bob Francisco J Ballesteros wrote: > IIRC, putting kbmap=uk > in plan9.ini should work. > > > On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 9:47 PM, Robert Hibberdine > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I want to setup my new plan9 termnial with a UK keyboard.
