+/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/defkeymap.map.gz:</userinput> There 
+are some problems with having a defkeymap.map.gz when that file
+wants to load another keymap file. Instead of running loadkeys with the -d 
+option to load the defkeymap.map.gz file, we have come up with a slightly
+modified method that we use in the loadkeys bootscript (see chapter 7).
+We don't load a default keymap, but instead load the proper keymap
+directly, which you will need to specify in a configuration file which
+that bootscript uses. This method overcomes this bug.</para>
+
+<para>However, if you want to create a defkeymap.map.gz file regardless,
+here's how you should do it:</para>
+
+<para><screen><userinput>cd /usr/share/kbd/keymaps &amp;&amp;</userinput>
+<userinput>ln -s &lt;path-to-keymap&gt; defkeymap.map.gz</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>Replace &lt;path-to-keymap&gt; with the path to the keymap you have
+selected, relative to the /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/ directory. For
+example, if you have chosen the US keymap, you would replace it with
+i386/qwerty/us.map.gz.</para>
