Bug#65431: Keymap not loading on Thinkpad 365x

[Jim Crumley <crumley@belka.space.umn.edu>]

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.15-2000-06-07
Severity: Normal

When trying to install potato on an IBM Thinkpad 365X, I can
not get the keymap to load.  Everything loads normally until
the point where I choose a keyboard. I choose keyboard type qwerty/us
(and I get the same problem with other types), and I get the
error message "Error loading the keymap i386/qwerty/us.bmap
from /etc/keymaps.tgz."

Also, fdisk isn't happy with my hard drive, but I can't partition
with fdisk because the shell won't take input, probably because
of the keyboard problem.

I've had this same problem with boot floppies set 2000-05-05.  The
same set works fine on my desktop machine.

(I tried to post this 2 weeks ago, but I never got an automated response,
and I don't see it on the Bug tracking system, so I'm reposting).
