What live version did you use? Did you use this one?

If yes, you can find advanced booting parameters (including locale options) here:

Although, in KDE you should be able to change keyboard layout directly from the gui. It somewhere in Control Centre. Probably in Locale or Keyboard applets. Haven't used KDE in a while so I'm talking a bit out of memory. :)
