Michael,

try adding a 109 line again to your keymap file in 
/usr/share/syscons/keymaps and add the following lines to your kernel 
config:

options		ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
makeoptions	ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP="german.cp850"

Then recompile and install kernel.

You have to replace the 'german.cp850' with the name of the keymap 
you've changed (without '.kbd'). I haven't tried it since I have no 
109th key but from what I found in the source, this seems to be the 
procedure.

Regards,
Sascha
