From Gentoo installation handbook: Well, some Gentoo devs involved with integrating systemd on gentoo pointed this out to me. The context was that the systemd tool to initialize the console expects "loadkeys" to be in /bin, while on Gentoo it is in /usr/bin. And I asked them to unify the location to /bin so that we have less ugly glue code in the systemd build system, and the gentoo folks ultimately refused, saying that seperate /usr wasn't supported anyway. Basically, on gentoo you don't get a correct keymapping before /usr is around, which means you cannot even type your hdd password in properly unless you are a lucky american. There's even a Gentoo bug about this somewhere.
