Hi! Looks like stage1 repair console can't read user input, at least under VirtualBox. Here is how to reproduce the problem: 1. Boot VirtualBox with NixOS minimal installation CD attached 2. Press 'e' in the grub to edit kernel command line 3. Add bood.debug1 kernel argument 4. Boot
Repair console appears but It doesn't react on key presses. It feels like /dev/tty1 hangs while trying to read something (bash 'read' operator). Note that system doesn't hang in general, other processes continue to work (I have carried out some experiments with inserting "( while true ; do echo -n . ; sleep 1; done) &" into stage-1 script) Any ideas on how to fix it?
