The problem with this is that the isolinux.cfg in this case cannot have a 
kbdmap entry (because that would effectively override the prior 
statement). And so by default you would not have Belgian keyboard mappings 
but instead US Qwerty.

So I need to have something like my extensive main.cfg without kbdmap, 
create the isolinux.cfg with only the kbdmap I would like to use by 
default that includes main.cfg and a similar file for every other keyboard 
mapping as well.

That works, but a c32 that can reload the kbdmap would be easier.
And it would stay in the submenu when you invoke it instead of reloading 
the complete menu and go back to the beginning.
