Bug#927045: ^C doesn't work when booting into recovery mode
Package: installation-reports
Severity: minor
Just want to let you know after a fresh install, when booting into
"(recovery mode)" from the grub menu, and typing the root passwd,
# cat
^C
doesn't interrupt cat, etc.
One needs ^Z, then "kill %" to stop it.
Yes, these just reported the same as on a normal fully working terminal:
# stty -a
speed 38400 baud; rows 48; columns 128; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R;
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; discard = ^O; min = 1; time = 0;

So I don't know what the problem is.
Note I had only installed the packages contained on
Debian GNU/Linux 9.8.0 _Stretch_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20190216-11:59";
with no internet connection.
Sure, after adding more packages and rebooting, the problem went away.
So do try it with the bare bones install from just
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/
with no network connection to download extra packages.
The only other odd thing I did was add nomodeset to
linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-8-amd64 ...
in grub.
