I followed above instruction.
Although I set the layout US-English to svccfg,
In step 4 above , the layout is set to 33(Portuguese?)

yshigeru at openindiana:~# kbd -l
type=6
layout=33 (0x21)
delay(ms)=500
rate(ms)=40

Then, I set the layout US-English using kbd command:

yshigeru at openindiana:~# kbd -s US-English
USB keyboard
yshigeru at openindiana:~# kbd -l
type=6
layout=33 (0x21)
delay(ms)=500
rate(ms)=40

The layout was not changed.

Did I miss anything?

Thanks,
