ln -s i386/qwerty/nl.map.gz defkeymap.map.gz
+An second option to configure your keyboard's layout is to compile
+the keymap directly into the kernel. This will make sure that your
+keyboard always works as expected, even when you have booted into
+maintenance mode (by passing `init=/bin/sh' to the kernel) in which case
+the bootscript that normally sets up your keymap isn't run.
+
+If you didn't create the defkeymap.map.gz file and going with the
+default US keymap, then again you don't have to do anything. The kernel
+compiles a suitable keymap by default that'll work just fine for
+you, so skip the next command.
+
+Run the following commands to accomplish that:
+
+loadkeys -m /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/defkeymap.map.gz > \
+ /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.c
