As far as I can remember on the virtual consoles there is a text saying 
something like "Press ENTER to activate this console".  I don't know 
what program is displaying this text but isn't it possible to change the 
same program to run setupcon just before the shell?

If for some reason this is impossible, then one can create the following 
helper script:

===============
#!/bin/sh

setupcon
exec /bin/ash
===============

and run it instead of a shell.

Or if even this is impossible, then the installation manual should 
mention that the users can use 'setupcon' to configure the keyboard on 
the text consoles.
