Keymaps are stored in config/grub/keymap/
You can use the ckbcomp program to generate a keymap, based on Xorg keymap
files:
ckbcomp fr > frazerty
When you build GRUB from source, you can use the grub-mklayout program to
create a special keymap file for GRUB. Learn how to build GRUB
To compile GRUB, in lbmk, do this:
./mk -b grub default
Other GRUB trees are available, but the default one will do for now.
When you've built GRUB, using cbmk (canoeboot build system), take your kepmap
file (generated by ckbcomp) and run it through grub-mklayout like so:
cat frazerty | ./src/grub/default/grub-mklayout -o frazerty.gkb
Place the newly created .gkb file under config/grub/keymap in cbmk. When
you build Canoeboot, a ROM image with GRUB payload and your newly created
keymap will be available under the bin/ directory.

Many keymaps exist in the Canoeboot build system, but sometimes you must
manually tweak the file created by ckbcomp, adjusting the scan codes in that
file, before converting to a GRUB keymap file. Therefore, it would be unwise to
automatically add all keymaps in GRUB.
If you've added a keymap to cbmk, and it works, please submit a patch!
