The dracut emergency shell can be activated before achieving visibility
of /etc/keyboard.conf from the intended root filesystem. Thus a kernel
boot parameter "KEYBOARD=foo" might be "necessary" if the global
default
(or in the value specified in the initramfs) is not appropriate.
true, yeah. It should at least read the config from the root filesystem
if it _is_ available, though, if it doesn't already.
