Hello all,

I have been experimenting with various BSD and GNU/Linux boot media
under bhyve and noticed that we may want to accommodate the "LiveCD"
mode of the installer, which in turn requires the correct console.

Currently, one is prompted for VT100 for installation but this does not
appear to work/stick for LiveCD mode.

Can anyone verify this?


While I developed this patch...
http://druidbsd.cvs.sf.net/viewvc/druidbsd/bsdinstall_zfs/usr.sbin%3A%3Absdinstall%3A%3Ascripts%3A%3Aconfig.patch?revision=1.10&view=markup


Reasons exist to search for a better solution, see here:

(and messages that follow it)

Is modifying init(8) still the way to go? What modification do we want to make?
I'll do the work if we can come to consensus.

Or should we touch up the patch in some way to address the original concerns?
