rfa1bdec rad07557 91 91 EOF</userinput></screen> 92 92 93 <para>To compile the keymap directly into the kernel instead of setting it94 every time from the <command>console</command> bootscript, follow the95 instructions given in <xref linkend="ch-bootable-kernel" role="."/> Doing96 this ensures that the keyboard will always work as expected, even when97 booting into maintenance mode (by passing <option>init=/bin/sh</option> to98 the kernel), because the <command>console</command> bootscript will not be99 run in that situation. Additionally, the kernel will not set the screen font100 automatically. This should not pose many problems because ASCII characters101 will be handled correctly, and it is unlikely that a user would need to rely102 on non-ASCII characters while in maintenance mode.</para>103 104 <para>Since the kernel will set up the keymap, it is possible to omit the105 <envar>KEYMAP</envar> variable from the106 <filename>/etc/sysconfig/console</filename> configuration file. It can107 also be left in place, if desired, without consequence. Keeping it could108 be beneficial if running several different kernels where it is difficult109 to ensure that the keymap is compiled into every one of them.</para>110 111 93 </sect1>
