** Description changed:

- In an install made with 21.10 beta, the default settings add vt.handoff=7 
- to the primary kernel command line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. The effect of 
- this is that the virtual console is somewhat broken during boot. Prompts 
- for LUKS passphrases are hidden, and once the system is done booting, getty
- prompts do not show until the user navigates to another virtual console. 
- (This isn't possible until the system is booted, meaning it's not a 
- mitigation for accessing LUKS prompt. For that, a user can hit escape and 
- be presented with a partially-functional LUKS prompt.)

- Attached is an example of a getty prompt not showing. This is after hitting

- help later boot.
