One thing that would be really useful would be to spawn a getty on at least tty2 and tty3 - that would make it easy to manually fix things. I would find it a lot easier to just get a shell prompt, set up the partitions as I need them, format, and then run the setup/install program and tell it to use the partitions i've created. Keep the install program on tty1, but give people the option of doing it manually as well...
