For X11 and Linux console this is completely separate.

For the console, you configure the keymap in /etc/vconsole.conf, and you
add "keymap" to the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to have it loaded
early in the initrd to enter your encryption pw.

For X11 you either use KDE's keyboard settings (since Neo is apparantly
shipped with xkeyboard-config, it should be listed by xkb), or you just
run setxkbmap somewhere in your X startup scripts as suggested by Robbie.
