No, this will fix things only for the first virtual console. You really should
get the script from LFS-6.2 or 6.3, and replace ${ECHO} with just "echo" (even
Debian demands the ability to understand the "-n" switch in addition to POSIX
requirements, so the whole "does echo understand the needed switches" test in
the current bootscripts is stupid). For the record, in your case, it does this:
# The command to run on each VT
MODE_COMMAND="echo -en '[EMAIL PROTECTED](K' && kbd_mode -a"
for TTY in `grep '^[^#].*respawn:/sbin/agetty' /etc/inittab | \
grep -o '\btty[[:digit:]]*\b'`
do
openvt -f -w -c ${TTY#tty} -- \
/bin/sh -c "${MODE_COMMAND}"
done
setfont $FONT
loadkeys ${KEYMAP}
