Every time I boot into arch the keyboard mapping is set to US, and I can change it like the installation guide shows. But as it warns, those commands are "only useful during installation" which I take to mean they do not persist.
I had a look at this wiki entry, but I don't have a the file /etc/vconsole.conf.
Running localectl set-keymap se-lat6 gives me:
Failed to set keymap: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files. Don't know how to interpret that, google turns up nothing.

Create /etc/vconsole.conf.
'sudo localectl set-keymap se-lat6' works here:
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
VC Keymap: pl2
X11 Layout: pl
$ sudo localectl set-keymap se-lat6
$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MESSAGES=C
VC Keymap: se-lat6
X11 Layout: pl

Ok thanks, it seems like it works. vconsole.conf was empty after reboot, but the keymap stayed!
Now I just have the issue that the keymapping is a bit off. The å key works, but I have to hit alt+gr to get ö, ä or else I get ø, æ. Which my keyboard -does- have printed on the keys along side with ö and ä. But they should not be default.

You can / should populate vconsole.conf:
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
FONT=ter-v16n
FONT_MAP=8859-2
KEYMAP=pl2

Oh, the file wasn't empty after all. It just looked empty when I opened it with nano and wasn't su. Should learn to use cat I guess.
Those extra settings you supplied just turned my åäö into squares. But thanks anyway.

Hey, these are my settings, leave them alone! ;-)
This is just an example, you should pick whatever suits your needs.

I cannot identify se-lat6...as a suggestion,
localectl list-keymaps
and
cat /etc/locale.gen
could point to you which keymap/locale you need for your system. Probably something similar to se-lat6.
