I think we already have|had this bug report and I confirm it. That's a tricky thing, indeed. We certainnly cannot move all stuff needed by unicode_start_stop() in the root directory. That would be too much. We also cannot delay the keymap configuration after /usr is mounted...because users need that in case the system boots in single user mode. What we could maybe do is having two init scripts: - one for setting up the keymap, called in single user mode - another one to setup unicode mode, called in multiuser mode
