Please try booting with 'install BOOT_DEBUG=3'. You should then get a 
debug shell where things do work.

What is the output of the command 'console-type' in the debug shell?

A single screen capture does not provide sufficient info.

What would be interesting is a _full_ log (i.e. scrollback of console 
messages) of a boot from a maximized minicom session of:
- boot with 'install BOOT_DEBUG=3'
- in the debug shell add a 'set -x' on 2nd line of /sbin/reopen-console
- type 'exit' twice to exit the debug shell and continue installation

Please gzip the resulting log.
