From a system that has a german keyboard, get the keymap:


dumpkeys >german.kbd


Put the keymap in the /opt/ltsp/<arch>/etc/directory


use the RCFILE_01 option to execute a shell script, say ldgermankbd.


The script will execute loadkeys
        /bin/loadkeys /etc/german.kbd </dev/tty0 >dev/tty0 2>/dev/null


You will also need a copy of loadkeys! This can be done by recompiling 
busybox, or by grabbing one from another installation. If you wish, you can 
have several keyboard files and make the name of the file a variable in the 
lts.conf file.
