When you have to reboot single user mode you find that your national
keyboard has not been loaded.  Since RedHat mounts filesystems in
single user mode I see no reason loading keytables is not part of the
standard boot procedure for single mode.

In addition given that if some filesystem is damaged /usr could not be
mounted and that the /etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable will not be run then
something is wrong with the way keytables are loaded.  The place for
loadkeys is under / not /usr and there should be a copy of the
national keytable orf the user somewhere under /lib with the keytable
being loaded by etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

You see having to make repairs with a keyboard who displays 'A' when
you type 'Q' is both not fun and dangerous.
