Or maybe this patch is even better, as it leaves one instance of blank 
in the array when KEYMAP_PATH is set in the environment, at prefix[1], 
and sadly add a redundant blank at prefix[2] when KEYMAP_PATH is not 
set in the environment.

        if (is_vt4())

For now I could just stick to using an absolute pathname for keymap= 
in /etc/rc.conf.
