Install package console-data. It contains all keymaps, they are
stored in /usr/share/keymaps. Pick the one that's right for you,
I'm using a swiss-german keyboard, so I chose
i386/qwertz/sg-latin1.kmap.gz
You probably want to use
i386/qwertz/fr_CH-latin1.kmap.gz

The keymap gets loaded early during the booting process, a start
script is involved, it's located at
/etc/init.d/keymap.sh
my file calls
loadkeys /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

so my solution was to just copy
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/sg-latin1.kmap.gz
to
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

That did it for me.
