Different keymaps (??) on my ttys

Hi folks!

I'm experiencing a problem lateley and I don't know if it is really
a busybox "bug" or just something else, but maybe someone in here can
confirm this or knows how to get rid of that.

When I boot my thinclient (busybox 1.7.3, BTW) I can login normally
on tty1. The root password contains a '#' symbol, the keyboard layout
is german.

When I switch to tty2 (ALT-F2), I cannot login because the '#' symbol
is interpreted as Backspace, so f.ex. entering the password "asdf#" on
tty1 is "asd" on tty2, because issuing '#' deletes the 'f' as well.

The really strange thing is, that I tried to use the ASCII key code
trick (activate Numlock, press ALT + 035, the decimal ASCII code for
'#') and it gets interpreted as Backspace too.

This problem only occurs on ttys other than tty1. Maybe my de.kmap
file is outdated but I don't know anymore where I got it from or
how I created it.

How do you load console keymaps?
How can I generate the binary kmap files needed by loadkmap?

Thanks in Advance,
