Re: [CentOS] disable virtual terminals during kickstart installation

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out where the inittab is for a pxeboot/kickstart installation so that I can disable virtual terminals that allow for interactive input such as CTRL+ALT+F2. I've looked in the /etc directories for the pxeboot initrd as well as the stage2 and minstg2 files. Am I missing something grossly obvious here?

I think this is all handled by the 'loader' binary that is the first stage of the install.

However, the anaconda docs state that there is a boot command option:

noshell Do not put a shell on tty2 during install.
