$ su; cd /etc; mv default.kmap.gz default.kmap.gz.bak
$ cp /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/jp106.kmap.gz default.kmap.gz

is the basic principle.  I don't recommend doing the above except as a
very last resort (among other things, that's a Debian path that
probably doesn't work on Fedora, and the default.kmap probably doesn't
live in /etc, either).  However, Fedora probably has a special tool to
do this, for a number of reasons (having to do with include keymaps
and early boot sequence issues).  On Debian this tool is called
`install-keymap'.
