I don't think CFE supports the key swapping like UBoot does.
It used to. At some point the keymap_swapaltamiga boot variable was removed and the key swapping done after OS4 has loaded in Input Prefs. Why is anyone's guess and IMHO a bad idea.
The key caps are physically swapped on the keyboard and are a hardware issue not an OS issue so should be set by CFE as they used to be.
Only after the OS has loaded can you use the keys next to the space bars as Amiga keys which leads to problems with the eraly startup menu which still thinks they are ALT keys so I often endup doing a hard reboot instead of a soft one. Same if you are using Linux, despite having phyically swapped the key caps the ones next to the space bar are treated as ALT not Amiga keys, which when you are used to getting what it says on the key you pressed rather inconvenient.
For consistancy it is best the swap done in CFE and the OS Input option to swap keys removed. Then they will always be swapped and not just after OS4 has loaded.
There are no doubt other reasons the newest CFE has to be used or I would go back to ther earler one when the keymap_swapaltamiga worked properly.
