Adding dokeymap Support

Before proceeding, this requires some knowledge of Catalyst.

Steps to Setup

IMPORTANT If you wish to use your own specs, make sure your dracut command-line args follow the ones I have in my spec files.

1. Rebuild Catalyst with the patch in portage/patches so it automatically adds cdroot to the boot args
2. Add package.use and savedconfig in portage/ into the appropiate folders in Catalyst's portage confdir
3. Make a stage1, I've added one to this repo for conveinience
4. Copy 90dokeymap into the stage1 chroot at /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/
5. Copy keymaps into the stage1 chroot at /lib
6. Proceed with making a stage2, if you used the one provided, no editing is needed

Directories in Detail

portage

In the portage/ directory there are the directories:

• package.use
• patches
• savedconfig

package.use is used to set savedconfig on sys-apps/busybox so we can use a custom config for it

patches contains a patch that will automatically append cdroot to dracut's boot args

savedconfig contains a config for sys-apps/busybox that will allow us to use loadkmap

90dokeymap

This is a dracut module that will display the list of keymaps and allows the user to select one

keymaps

Taken from genkernel, this is the list of keymaps it has available

specs

spec files I used to save time for testing.
