When I use it in my preseed.cfg I get an error message.

I choose the first of many options and the install proceeds to a
successful conclusion.
What is missing in the preseed.cfg file?
You fail to say which distribution you are using and which preseeding
method is employed.
See first line of my post.
I'll guess at Squeeze for the first omission. For
the second you have Sections B.1.1., B.2.2. and B.2.3. of the manual.
B.1.1. only mention of keyboard related issues is "In order
to avoid the questions that would normally appear before the
preseeding occurs, you can start the installer in “auto”
mode. This delays questions that would normally be asked too
early for preseeding (i.e. language, country and keyboard
selection) until after the network comes up, thus allowing
them to be preseeded. It also runs the installation at
critical priority, which avoids many unimportant questions."
B.2.2.talks about " Using boot parameters to preseed
questions" generally but says *NOTHING* about any values
for keyboard related parameters.
B.2.3. only mention of keyboard related issues is "The auto
boot label is not yet defined everywhere. The same effect
may be achieved by simply adding the two parameters
auto=true priority=critical to the kernel command line. The
auto parameter is an alias for auto-install/enable and
setting it to true delays the locale and keyboard questions
until after there has been a chance to preseed them, while
priority is an alias for debconf/priority and setting it to
critical stops any questions with a lower priority from
being asked."
