Public bug reported:

When I do a simple install from the mini netboot iso, I'm always
presented with vt 7, which doesn't have X nor getty.  I have to switch
to a console that has getty on it before I can log in.

This might confuse users who don't know about this, who might wait
indefinately thinking boot has not complete.
