Description Arlo 2004-01-28 18:20:50 UTC 
I've specified dvorak in my /etc/rc.conf file.  Recently I get these errors at boot:
 * Loading key mappings...
input in flex scanner failed
 * Error loading key mappings

I tried re-emerging kbd and it didn't fix the problem.
I can use loadkeys to load the map fine:
 loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.map.gz 
Loading /usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.map.gz

I believe this may have occured recently with 2.6 or glibc; I'm not sure though.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot System
OR
2. Run keymaps init.d script


Actual Results:  
Loading of dvorak keymap fails.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the dvorak keymap for console use.

you neglected to provide `emerge info`

also, what version of kbd do you have ?
