I could be confused, but I think Live vs Netinst (again) have different tty
behaviors/assignments. I distinctly recall using that login prompt and logging in as
liveuser with no password, and I'd like to think I'm gloriously lazy (efficient)
and would have used a bash prompt instead, had it been available.
Yes, we're talking about the non-live installer here. Logging into the
live image from a tty is of course a perfectly sane thing to do.
