Metasploitable virtualbox has wrong keyboard layout

I just installed Metasploitable in VirtualBox for doing some exercises. Metasploitable is a Ubuntu Hardy-based system, with some built in errors that allows you to tamper with it. I live in Denmark, and thus I use a Danish keyboard layout. Since Metasploitable works for English, this means that my keyboard is now messed up a little bit when I type inside of this new VM. Usually, when I have been working on Ubuntu or Kali VMs, then it is quite easy to navigate around and change the keyboard language layout. This is harder now, since I only have a terminal to work with. I have been searching around for solutions, the closest thing I have found is this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration Where I think I need to put the configuration I want in the keyboard-configuration field. But I don't know how to figure what the configurations are called for the different languages (trying intuitive names like "dk" fails). So, how do I change the keyboard layout?
