I have solaris 7 with an English locale/time zone etc. However since it has been racked I have been using an american keyboard. Thus the key mapping is incorrect. i.e. the '2' key on a UK keyboard will have " over it and on a US keyboard it has @.

This is more than an annouence as the | key with the current keyboard will just output a # and I need | to pipe commands.

How do I change this? I suppose I could do a sys-unconfig and change the locale to US but I dont want to do that. I do want the locale the same for everything except the keyboard

How can I do this?
 
try 'kdmconfig'

allows remapping of the keyboard, mouse and display ...
 
best to do it at the console prompt tho :)
 
kdmconfig (as far as I can recall is for a x86 proc) I am using a sparc
