Here is an old message about changing the keymap in syscons (thanks to
Glimpse).

Here is the one I use.  It is basically the standard keymap (from 2.1.0)
with the boot commands removed and the alt key mapped to meta.

#                                                         alt
# scan                       cntrl          alt    alt   cntrl lock
# code  base   shift  cntrl  shift  alt    shift  cntrl  shift state
