Oh, sure I can, and this is how I got around it. I was just suggesting
that changing this "default" might be useful in some occasions, and
could avoid a bit of frustration :) After all, there is no need to
have the installer log on tty4, rather than tty2, except for
historical "reasons" (i.e., it has been there since the new Debian
installer was introduced back in the days, for no particular reason,
AFAIK).
