A lot of hits from googling grub colemak including
https://forums.debian.net//viewtopic.php?f=16&t=76833
which uses dvorak as an example.
I don't recall the definition of "boot time password". Does this
denote something that Grub asks, or is it when dmcrypt is running
from the initrd? — Which is a reminder: is your keyboard definition
in /etc/default/keyboard getting incorporated into the initrd or not?
Cheers,
