You need keybd.tgz, and setfont, and the appropriate font.  You can change
the font after booting, manually, or put a line in one of the files that
is read at bootup if you know which font you want.  I will look up which
one if you cannot figure it out.  I set my font to Vietnamese so that it
would load the Unicode map (only extended ASCII is affected), and
therefore the Cyrillic fonts will be mapped correctly when I load them. 
There is probably a better way to map to Unicode.

Most of the plain ASCII fonts included with keybd are nearly illegible and
are suitable only for artistic uses.  I find them worse than ugly since I
cannot read them.  Better bored than puzzled.  There are some nice sans
serif fonts.
