"in your rc.conf file (/etc folder) look for the line KEYMAP="""" and change the to us or whatever layout you want

you can find the available layouts in ""/usr/share/kbd/keymaps"" and the sub folders, just use the name minux the .map.gz

Example

if you want to use ""/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/us.map.gz"" then just add ""us"" to the config file"
