Re: console keymap and console-setup

Ok, so I ran

install-keymap /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/custom.kmap

and then rebooted.

The keymap was not installed, and I got the same problems as usual.
However, I then ran

loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/custom.kmap

and got the proper keymap going. I took a look at
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and it looks like the right file, so I'm
not sure what is wrong.

+-----------------------+

As a quick update, I deterimined that running

loadkeys /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

sets the appropriate keymap, so whatever is going on during boot up,
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz is *not* getting loaded.
