+<para>If you plan to compile the keymap directly in the kernel during <xref
+linkend="chapter-bootable"/> (see <xref linkend="ch-system-kbd"/>), then strictly
+speaking you don't need to run this loadkeys script, since the kernel will set
+up the keymap for you. If you wish, you can still run the script, it isn't going
+to hurt you. Keeping it could even be beneficial, in case you run a lot of
+different kernels and can't be sure that the keymap is compiled into every one
+of them.</para>
