If your system is configured with VT and not syscons, there exists no
such thing as norwegian.iso(.kbd), but you must use no(.kbd).
See /usr/share/vt/keymaps/INDEX.keymaps.

Furthermore, with VT, there is a chance that the system is configuerd
with kbdmux, which makes things more complicated. There exist patches in
bugzilla adding support of keyboard definitions to kbdmux.
