That's exactly what I said I'd prefer to do.  Butline count
limitations don't allow it it.  (The 1.3 release of sysinst doesn't
include scrolling menus or scrolled or paginated message text.)

Here's a working proposal in unidiff format. (lines starting with
'-'get deleted, '+' lines are added, and ' ' lines are unchanged).  Is
the intent clear enough?

If you do attempt to boot multiuser you'll be stopped at a single-user
shell, but I can't squeeze that in....
