Hi!

When /etc/init.d/bootmisc script loads font file it forgets to set correct 
charset for selected language. This bug is not visible for English users 
only. Other users will not see non US characters on screen.

This patch adds charmap loader to bootmisc script.
Create text file in /etc/ named charmap and fill it with your charmap name.
 All available charmaps are stored in /usr/share/consoletrans
In charmap file write charmap file name without .acm.gz extension e.g.:
iso02.acm.gz file name should be written to /etc/charmap file as iso02

Attachment list:

charmap - example charmap file which adds character mapping for Central Europe

greets,
