If I add "keymaps" in /etc/runlevels/boot/.critical the command is not executed. The error message is "You need to setup $KEYMAP in /etc/rc.conf first". However if I type manually "/etc/init.d/keymaps stop; /etc/init.d/keymaps start" as soon as the boot procedure finishes the command works. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Do you have /usr on a different partition?
Forget that. Anything special about your config? What does 'mount' give you after booting to runlevel 3 for instance?
I must add KEYMAP="fr" SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc to make it work for a single user. The file /etc/rc.conf seems not to be read.
Do you get the same error of you do say: # /etc/init.d/keymaps pause start ? Also, please attach your /etc/rc.conf.
please re-open when you've posted the requested info
