Try pressing SHIFT-2 on your German keyboard during boot.

Agreed ....

So does the BIOS give ALT-Q to syslinux if I press AltGr-Q? Or is it
nothing? If yes, is it possible to remap this?

Reason for this is also backslash, tilde, the {[]}-keys etc, these all get
accessed via AltGr. If it's possible without changing anything in syslinux
or if it's a small change (and you have the time to do this) it's ok, if
this would be some more work forget about this. It would be nice to have
these keys, but it won't hurt if not, since I can always define a different
label for this.

Regards,

Josef
