Subject:   Setting default keymap in kernel

Is there any way to set the keyboard layout in the kernel other
than the default us.iso (qwerty) layout? I tried looking in the man
pages and the most that I got were some options. The
documentation instructed me to put these in my kernel config:

options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=<layout>
options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=<layout>

I did just that. I recompiled my kernel and boot with it, but still
got the old layout qwerty layout. I tried the same with
a USB keyboard with these options:

options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=<layout>
options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=<layout>

I got the same effect.

Thanks in advance.
