I tried to reproduce this bug with netboot image built on 20060330 and
the bug is still there.

I tried to run installer in Ukrainian, Belarusian and Russian languages
with default keyboard for each of those languages. D-I was ran until it
tries to configure network. Then option to ocnfigure network manually
was selected. Then I rtied to enter some Cyrillic text.

Results:
 1. For Ukrainian and Belarusian I was not able to enter any Cyrillic
 text because I was not able to find switcher key (all keys Ctrl, Alt,
 Win, Menu were tried).
 2. For Russian after pressing right Ctrl key I was able to enter
 somthing that is not Latin - that something was displayed as <XX>,
 where X - hexadecimal digit. It probably was some single-byte encoding
 (i guess it was KOI8-R).
 3. Ukrainian was tested with "install24" with the same result.
 4. /var/log/syslog says that keymap "ua" was selected and contains a
 lot of warnings "unknown keysym".
