Yes, I tried that but it didn't work either. This probably because it's
boot not 9load that's running at this point..

In which case, this doesn't seem to be a very practical mechanism.
Wouldn't it be beter to attach to the server and then do the kbmap()
stuff ??


A related question:
    cp  /sys/lib/kbmap/uk   /dev/kbmap
in my  lib/profile changes the keyboard, but when put it into
/bin/termrc (at the end) it doesn't do anything. Can anyone tell me why....

Many thanks
