Hello

I am working on this now, the support is very basic, but I think the most important symbols are remapped.

I created a scripts that generated *.ktl files from [kbd] package using keytab-lilo. I also patch this program in this script, so can use map thats needs unicode.

https://gist.github.com/1187908

In some cases we have:
    * two maps versions one non-unicode and other unicode.
    * Non-unicode and other unicode but them are the same (keep with one)
    * one map non-unicode only
    * one map unicode only
    * nothing because conversion fails.

The script also makes syslinux submenus (in a really basic way, no fancy titles), also converts filenames to be more ISO-9660 friendly.

So the steps to implements this are:
    * Make a package from generated files from the script.
    * Install this package in build.sh
* Copy kbdmap/ directory (from installed package) to syslinux/ directory.
    * Add to syslinux.cfg these lines:
---------
MENU BEGIN kbdmap
  MENU LABEL Change Keyboard Map
  INCLUDE kbdmap/kbdmap.cfg
MENU END
---------

After you selected the desired keymap, syslinux drops to boot: prompt, just hitting enter, returns to main menu (do in this way for now, at least at this moment I can not find a way that does not reset keyboard remap)


I uploaded here an small qcow2 image (768K compressed) for qemu/kvm, for anyone want to test it.

Only contains syslinux things.

$ qemu-system-x86_64 kbd.qcow2
