[10.0] "Invalid argument" when setting wscons encoding on particular machines

[pl]

I've noticed that on particular boxes for some reason I can't set my encoding in wscons. On these, any attempt to set it to anything but us, uk and de fails with

wsconsctl: WSKBDIO_SETENCODING: Invalid argument

Meanwhile it works on other machines as expected:

encoding -> pl

They all are amd64 hardware, running the same NetBSD 10.0 from the same installation CD I've burned

So... How does it happen in the first place? Anything I can do?

Maybe the answer is here:

Hm, pretty weird considering that I can set it on other installations

The only keyboard driver that knows KB_PL seems to be for the Amiga keyboard.

...So maybe these "working" ones set improper mapping then?
Deeper investigation is needed, I see...

encoding=unknown_0

Ye, so these "working" ain't really working either.
For now I'll just live without it as I wanted it only for X so I don't have to set my keymap manually.
Thanks for pointing to explanation tho
