[Bug 1427829] Re: enter doesn't work on iso install over serial

[Ryan Harper]

Something's up with the installer itself.  I can reproduce the issue on
Lucid which is older than ttylinux kernel.  To confirm the -curses and
keyboard input works correctly, I appended BOOT_DEBUG=3 (during the
blind typing steps) after console=ttyS0

Then on the serial console page, I get a proper shell

serial0 console
+ debugshell just booted
+ [ 3 -gt 2 ]                                                 
+ echo This is a debug shell (just booted).                   
This is a debug shell (just booted).                          
+ sh                                                          

BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.                 
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off                  
~ # echo "hello"                                              
hello                                                         
~ # uname -a
