Description:
When using encrypted partitions with a password at boot, the KEYMAP (in the rc.conf) variable isn’t used yet, forcing the user to use a password he can type in qwerty.

Additional info:
* version: 2012.03.2-1


Steps to reproduce:
1 - set KEYMAP to something not english (e.g. fr-pc)
2 - set your LUKS password to something you can only type with that layout
3 - Reboot
4 - Can’t enter the password
This task depends upon

You can add the keymap hook in your initramfs.
