As suggested from list, I switched to dvorak months ago.
But the console (namely Ctrl+F1,F2...) still used the old way, I mean
QREWT way.
Following the http://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
I set it to dvorak
# dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Looking for keymap to install:
mac-dvorak
But things get weired, everything is normal on the tty terminal, but
on console (hope it's the right name for it). it showed something
unexpected, I went through all keys, even couldn't find the ENTER and
Del, I don't know which layout it's.
Can someone give me some suggestions how to remove the keymap I
installed. since it doesn't work as expected.
Best regards,

Setting aside the rest for the moment, we should clarify terminology.
When you log in without a GUI, or switch to them with ctrl-alt-F1 (etc),
you are dealing with TTYs. That is clear. Then things get confusing
because in casual conversation, people overload meanings.
Terminal is a TTY, but people often use the word for any command
line interface, notably for terminal emulators, which are the
windows in X that have a command line. Xterm is the "default"
terminal emulator, and people sometimes call any terminal
emulator (rxvt, gnome-terminal, konsole) an "xterm".
Console should be (or was) a piece of hardware acting as a
terminal. But now its meaning is often as vague as terminal.
When the distinction matters, I find it it easiest to say "TTY"
for ctrl-alt-F1 etc. and "xterm" or "terminal emulator" for
command line windows in X. Yes, it is annoying.
Cheers,
Kelly Clowers

There should be no confusion as the answer is on the OP's system.
apt-cache show console setup
[snip]
This package provides the Linux console with the same
keyboard configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result,
there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to
make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key
functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between
Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.

console-setup is a program, not a tutorial on terminology...

Your correct, of course, but neither is D-U which seems to be the OP's
1st choice for answers. :-(
