>Description:
There is no built-in wscons keyboard mapping for neither swiss german nor swiss french keyboards.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
In NetBSD we can define our own keymap files for wscons. The files should remain in /usr/share/wscons/keymaps.
Copy all the lines between the two "-- swiss german --" tags (see below) into the file /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.de_CH.iso8859-1 for the swiss german keymap. For the swiss french keymap copy the lines between the "-- swiss french --" tags into /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.fr_CH.iso8859-1.

Now you have to configure wscons. Edit the file /etc/wscons.conf. Add or change the mapfile line as follows:
mapfile /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.de_CH.iso8859-1
or respectively:
mapfile /usr/share/wscons/keymaps/pckbd.fr_CH.iso8859-1

As root can you restart wscons by executing:
/etc/rc.d/wscons restart
