This bug has existed for at least 5 years, and it is still
unresolved. It highlights serious weaknesses in our installation
tool.
I think as a workaround a special version of cvsupit should be
included on the installation media that does not prompt for user
input.
This is really a ports/packages issue, since the alternative (writing
a new installer / making a major paradigm change in sysinstall), is so
much more time consuming.
I'm not sure if jkh is still actively maintaining cvsupit. Someone
should really provide a patch to that port and post it in this PR
trail.
