As far as I can remember on the virtual consoles there is a text saying something like "Press ENTER to activate this console". I don't know what program is displaying this text but isn't it possible to change the same program to run setupcon just before the shell? If for some reason this is impossible, then one can create the following helper script: =============== #!/bin/sh setupcon exec /bin/ash =============== and run it instead of a shell. Or if even this is impossible, then the installation manual should mention that the users can use 'setupcon' to configure the keyboard on the text consoles.
