The recently added bepo and colemak keymaps can be built in to the initramfs, but seem to do nothing when loaded. On examination, both files genkernel/defaults/keymaps/{bepo,colemak}.map are identical. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select bepo or colemak as keymap 2. Build and install initramfs 3. Reboot Actual Results: Receive message saying eg. Colemak keymap loaded. On typing, eg. in the initramfs shell or entering ZFS passphrase, QWERTY mapping is in effect. Expected Results: Colemak keymap should be in effect.

Thanks, should be in beta19.
Hopefully released with genkernel-4.0.0_beta19! Please give it a try...
Thanks for the prompt change! Apologies for the delay in testing. Unfortunately the colemak map did not quite make it in to the tree; the committed file contains busybox help text and so loadkmap barfs. Also, the bepo.map still seems to implement qwerty? hexdump suggests, and testing in the initrd seems to confirm this.
You are right, sorry: I see it in my bash history. I used > busybox < en-latin9.map > colmark.map instead of > busybox dumpkmap < en-latin9.map > colmark.map Regarding bepo: I see nothing wrong here, source is coming from latest sys-apps/kbd package: cp /usr/share/keymaps/i386/bepo/fr-bepo-latin9.map.gz . gzip -d fr-bepo-latin9.map.gz busbox dumpkmap < fr-bepo-latin9.map > bepo.map
Aha, I think I see the issue (after getting distracted by some other problem with sys-apps/kbd). dumpkeys reads from the console's loaded keymap - it's not smart enough to parse the (complicated) kbd map files. So it needs: > sudo loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/colemak/en-latin9.map > busybox dumpkmap > colemak.map Switching your keymap back can be a fun game... except I ran into a problem where loadkeys failed when called a second time. (If that happens for you too I'll file a kbd bug.) Thanks again!

Created attachment 592554 [details] correct bepo.map I tried reproducing my loadkeys issue, couldn't, and since I was there, retrieved the maps for you

Released with v4.0.0_beta20! I didn't use your attached files, I followed your guide and created files on my own. Would be nice if you tell us if this now working for you as expected.
Looks great to me! Thanks for fixing this, and thank you for adding them in the first instance, as well.
Thank you for your assistance and testing!
