The doc/keytab-lilo.txt file (and its wikified equivalent) is a copy of 
the original file from LILO; it actually says it so.

Please see:
 http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Directives/kbdmap 

for updated info.

BTW, we should find some way to support changing the keyboard map for 
UEFI too.

I do not know whether the "ktl" file / method can be effectively used 
in UEFI. If it can, then it would be desirable for the kbdmap directive 
to be available for UEFI too, and it would be desirable for the 
kbdmap.c32 module to be improved so to support UEFI too.

Regards,
Ady.

PS: The patch to support kbd 2.0.3 was already pushed, but it is not 
part of Syslinux 6.04-pre1. It will be included in the next 
pre-release.
