Have you looked at man vconsole.conf
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/vconsole.conf.5.html
Could this be helpful?
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/57085
Also this has more extensive info on creating/modifying keymaps and
getting systemd to get them going:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration
I don't know if this is useful, but seems like you can affect things
early in the boot sequence (from the man page):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=,
vconsole.keymap_toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font_map=,
console.font_unimap= may be used to override the console settings at
boot.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Do the right thing :)
