Setting the default keyboard selection

So you decided to immerse yourself in the German language and got yourself a German keyboard to match? Or, like me, you switched to Dvorak? Even if you're the admin (or even the only) user on your machine, at the login screen, your Mac still thinks you're using a US English QWERTY keyboard. Here's how to fix it.
Log in as root. If you haven't enabled the root user, first do so. As root, open System Preferences and select the International pane. Under the Keyboard Menu tab, set the layout to match your keyboard. Finally, unless you like to live on the edge, log out. You can now log in with your keyboard layout of choice.
