I have an FSC Primepower machine running Sun Solaris 8. It was supplied in Germany and now is being used in the UK.
When I go into OBP, the keyboard layout is set to German (A and Z are where Q and W are on UK kbd, etc). Anyone know how to change this to a UK keyboard layout.
Have checked keymap setting and its blank (default), same as a UK machine.

Dave is it not set on the login screen, in the language section of the DT login? Does that not effect keyboard settings?
Has it been installed with English support?

Just worked out what it is. It is not a Solaris setting as it affects only OBP.
On the FSC boxes, they dont use a Sun kbd/mouse, they use a standard PC kbd and mouse, that get plugged into a keyboard adapter which then plugs into the kbd port on the machine.
On the bottom of the adapter there are dip switches to set the keyboard to German, US or UK layout.
