Re: Changing makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP leads to kernel build fail

Hi Harald,

thanks for the detailed answer. I will test this asap.

Is there some work planed to make the keyboard layout dynamical
changeable?

I run into this problem because I have to enter my zfs encryption pass
phrase in a different layout than I set it while installation. This
maybe confuses others. It would be nice if the installer is able to
set the default keymap to the chosen one so you can enter your pass
phrase in the same keymap you set it.
