Well if drdos' keyb works anything like msdos' keyb, the correct syntax is

keyb country,codepagenumber,filename

where filename usually = keyboard.sys  For example, to set up a finnish
keyboard, I have in my AUTOEXEC.BAT the line

keyb su,,c:\dos\keyboard.sys

No codepagenumber since 437, the default, is ok for me. Your line would
probably look something like

keyb ru,866,c:\dos\keyboard.sys

If dos complains that the codepage isn't 'prepared' then you'll have to
set it up using the MODE command. Email if you need more help.
