MountainX, you don't need sudo in /etc/rc.local. It runs as root on bootup, like all init scripts. Are you sure your loadkeys method even works? loadkeys is a totally different way to change your keymap: It changes the Linux kernel keymap. I though X put the kbd in raw mode, and got keycodes

On more careful reading of this bug (#92338), it seems to be reporting the problem that your main network interface can't be in /etc/network/interfaces if you want to boot with nfsroot. The fix for that is support for the manual setting in interfaces(5) to stop ifupdown breaking the nfsroot.
