What graphic menus, if there is no such menus, create them
(PC-BSD is much more user friendly)

I would like to have the "ss" symbol when striking altgr and b together, for instance, instead of getting it with altgr and s. Also liked to have some maths symbols I use quite often (divide, multiply etc.).

in syscons, the FreeBSD virtual console emulator, it is done via kbdmap/vidfont there are source code and explanation how to create new keymap files - but if you dont use FreeBSD console at all just ignore it. X11 is another story - the same files are on any other unix,linux OS.

rc.conf is completly unrelated to X11(setxkbmap) eg. syscons have its own settings and X11 its own.
