Details

Description:

rc.sysinit has the line

/bin/loadkeys -q "$KEYMAP"

The double quotes around $KEYMAP pass a single word to the program. I would like to load two keymaps (dvorak and ctrl), but "$KEYMAP" is expanded to "dvorak ctrl" and passed as a single word, so loadkeys fails to find a matching file. Since all of the keymap files have no spaces in their names, removing the double quotes will allow loading of an arbitrary number of keymaps.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
initscripts 2007.11-2

Steps to reproduce:
Set KEYMAP="dvorak ctrl" in rc.conf then reboot.
