How can I set keyboard layout for Linux console?

Hi,

I’d like to change default US keyboard layout to FI in Linux console. I tried the most common methods found using a Google search but none of them seems to be appropriate for the Linux variant used in MiSTer. F.ex. localectl is not found, /etc/defaults directory is not found etc.

Maybe I just have to order US keyboard from AliExpress (cannot get them easily from Finland, Sweden, Norway or Denmark which use same Nordic layout) and get confused because of a need to use different layouts for different devices.

Thanks for any help.

Besides the layout in Linux (which isn't really useful), cores expect US layout as well. So you definitely need US keyboard to get it fully working in cores.
