Yep, that is exactly what I did.  I assumed the default would be the correct
one.
I noticed that there is /etc/consode-tools/default.kmap.gz.  Is this used for
the default keymap ?
Would the correct fix be to copy /usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-us-std.kmap.gz to
/etc/default.kmap.gz ?

I'm a bit puzzled as to why it worked for some of the installation and then dies
later.
