Bug Description
While investigating bug #1128257, I found that when using the 'install ubuntu' option I'm given no opportunity to set the keymap before the prompt for my passphrase. This is a combination of:
- UEFI boots with grub rather than syslinux, so there's no keymap prompt in the bootloader
- the keymap question appears to happen too late
It's problematic to prompt for any text before the user has an opportunity to choose their keymap (and not just their language).
