Look in the directory /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/:

danish.cp865.kbd        german.iso.kbd          ru.koi8-r.kbd           swedish.iso.kbd
danish.iso.kbd          jp.106.kbd              ru.koi8-r.shift.kbd     uk.cp850.kbd
fr.iso.kbd              jp.106x.kbd             spanish.iso.kbd         uk.iso.kbd
german.cp850.kbd        ru.cp866.kbd            swedish.cp850.kbd       us.iso.kbd

Then look in /etc/sysconfig.  I have:

# Choose keyboard map from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/* or NO if default.
# keymap="us.iso"
keymap=NO

Change 'NO' to, say, spanish.iso.kbd (yes, I know that you're not in a
Spanish country, but I'm hazarding a guess that this keyboard will be
the closest to what you need.  Then either reboot or enter

  kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/spanish.iso.kbd

That's quite a bit to type in (correctly), but it has the advantage
that you can "try out" keyboard definitions until you find what you
want.
