[SOLVED] generate a .bmap file for mkinitrd from .map file

Thom1b · 03-26-2010, 08:01 AM

Hi,

I'd like to use a keymap not present in slackware "fr-dvorak-bepo" with mkinitrd because my root partition is encrypted by luks.
So how can I generate a .bmap file from a classic .map file for mkinitrd ?

I have not tried this so you'll have to test it. Apparently you can run loadkeys -b to generate a binary keymap from a keymap file so :

Code:

loadkeys -b fr-dvorak-bepo.map > fr-dvorak-bepo.bmap

should work. You obviously need the fr-dvorak-bepo.map file here.
