 I'm unable to break into the kernel debugger using ALT+LSHIFT+F9 after
 booting the 9.2 kernel / sysinst.  This is while sysinst is operating
 normally, before the hang.  So there is probably a different key
 sequence I need to use to get into the kernel debugger on the Atari.
 I'll do a bit of research to see if I can figure that out.
 
 It's also worth pointing out Izumi Tsutsui's tweet here, describing
 what was observed during a 9.0 RC1 install:

 there were two problems. - "qqq.." is only visible issue. NetBSD/atari
 ite console doesn't support ruled lines but sysinst assumes full
 terminfo (smacs,rmacs,acsc). - sysinst on atari omits "progress bar"
 support due to size restriction. The installation goes background.

 Izumi's install was apparently successful, though it was an upgrade
 and not a clean install.
 So it sounds like the hang that I'm seeing on my 9.2 install may be
 entirely unrelated to the text display issues / missing progress bar.
