I oppose that usage of keys. The user can change the keyboard mapping
using an application. For password prompt, I think that this part of
the boot process should be stored in a shell script, perhaps stored in
a virtual disk inside the kernel image. That is IHMO needed anyway, so
that the startup process can be customized without recompiling the
kernel.
