Description Eido Inoue 2004-05-21 21:09:28 UTC
Description of problem:
The keyboard connected to the machine does not get configured before
firstboot is run for the first time after Anaconda. While most of
firstboot is point-and-click, there are some places were text input
fields exist. Depending on the keyboard, inputing some values will be
tricky (or maybe even impossible) because the keycodes are not mapped
to the right values.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a keyboard where the equals sign is not in the same place as a
US101 keyboard (i.e. a JP106)
2. Attempt to config LDAP authentication in firstboot right after an
install
3. type in a DN that requires the use of the equals key (ex.
"dc=redhat,dc=com")
  
Actual results:
when using a JP106, the equals signs will appear as underscores

Expected results:
the keymap configured in anaconda should be configured prior to
firstboot running
