The problem: On a system with encrypted root and using a non-us keymap such as DVORAK programmer and setting this in the bootloader configuration, the relevant files for GRUB to use the keymap are stored on an encrypted partition, thus requiring the user to enter the password in an incorrect layout.
Suggested solutions: Allow the user to declare that they wish to store all boot related files in the clear on a seperate partition. Grub could be built with the particular keymap required as the default. ----- Barra O'Cathain
