Description
to reproduce:
1. start snv_47 installation on SPARC machine using DVD ("boot cdrom - noauto")
2. after kernel boot & network config, when "Configure Keyboard Layout" screen comes up on console select "French-Canadian"
3. Xserver doesn't start and the following error message is displayed:

parsefile: fopen(): Bad file number
initalize_keymap: Bad file number
ddxSUNWkbd: initialize_keymap failed: Unsupported keyboard type 6 on /dev/kbd

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
XIO:  fatal IO error 146 (Connection refused) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.


4. the same happens for "kbd -s", selecting "French-Canadian" & restarting Xserver

French Canadian is the sole remaining non-working keyboard layout from bugid 6416993, so i closed that one and created a new bug.
