Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Unfortunately, this is not going to work with our small list of languages,
 which is far from covering the keymap choice.

 Having a way to chose the keymap here is of limited interest, not only for
 the boot prompt, but also for the installer which is completely mouse
 driven. Let's say you use a dvorak keyboard, or some other strange
 national one. In this case, you need a way to select the keymap before
 entering drivesetup to enter the partition name. And this would feel out
 of place in the installer or in drivesetup.
