Description

Trying to switch keyboard layout on the console with kbd fails,
it doesn't change the default US layout.

How to reproduce:
svcadm enable vtdaemon (to enable tty1, then Ctrl + Alt + F1 and log in)
kbd -s (or kbd -s French, or another layout)

However, runnig loadkeys manualy works, eg:
sudo loadkeys /usr/share/lib/keytables/type_6/dvorak

Is perhaps kbd looking in the wrong place for its keyboard layout..?
