I remember in suse, there was a general system-wide config-file called rc.local where I could just switch some flags to "NO".

At first, I added a line containing the command "loadkeys" at the end of /etc/profile, but I think that's not too elegant, so what's the proper way of doing that?

Here is mine --
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hdb3
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
delay=40
map=/boot/map
vga=4
image=/vmlinuz
label=slink
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=95
*********************
/dev/hda1 is where my Windows resides. /dev/hdb3 is where my Slink
resides. root=/dev/hda is where the mbr resides. Looks like you might
need to change your "root=" parameter (I'm assuming your mbr is at
/dev/hda) and trim down your "other" section. Sorry can't help with the
rest.
