            Bug ID: 242349
           Summary: keymap support before disk decryption
           Product: Base System
           Version: 12.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: christer.edwards at gmail.com

Alternate keyboard layouts need to be loaded prior to disk decryption if
encryption enabled.

During installation (12.1-RELEASE) I select the us.dvorak.kbd layout, which is
enabled in the rc.conf (keymap="us.dvorak.kbd") as expected. I also enabled
disk encryption, which unlocks with a passphrase at boot.

The problem is each time the machine bots the kernel reverts the keymap and I
am required to unlock disk encryption using the US qwerty layout.

-----

The only solution I found was to build a custom kernel and define the
following:

options        ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions    ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=us.dvorak
