What is the meaning of this error?

I recently reflashed my N900 to the latest global version. Could this possibly cause the error from a possible non-US keyboard layout in the global version of Maemo 5?

After the error, the keys are still not working.
Oops, I meant that, in Dosbox, when I say:

keyb rover.sys us

I get an error that says:

no layout in us for codepage 858

(not "no layout in auto for codepage 858" as I previously said.)

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Does my global flash of Maemo 5 mean that I now have a global keyboard and not a us keyboard, and that this is the problem? I do not know if this is so, as my keyboard layout certainly appears to be the same as any other us layout.

I currently have rover.sys residing in the same folder as dosbox.conf.

I have read and reread all of the posts about Dosbox in this group, but I am still not sure how it works. For instance, how do I find an editable keyboard-layout file, and then how do I turn this into a usable rover.sys file?

Or for now, how do I get the current rover.sys to work so that I have, especially, the numbers, +-:;"'!/\?, and other keys available?
