Description of problem:
Virtual are consoles not available while firstboot is running. Additionally,
typing CTRL + ALT + Backspace won't break the firstboot process (as it did in
earlier versions). This is a problem if your xfree86 config was not setup
properly by anaconda because you can't get to the command line interface to fix it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firstboot-1.1.4-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot into firstboot process (either from fresh install or by rm
/etc/sysconfig/firstboot;chkconfig firstboot on;reboot)
2. Attempt to switch to virtual console (CTRL + ATL + F1-F6) or break X (CTRL +
ATL + Backspace)
    

Actual Results:  Can't access virtual consoles.

Expected Results:  Should be able to access the CLI and fix things if your X
config is hosed.

Additional info:

The only way I was able to even get into X was to pass grub the "single" option
and then remove my /etc/X11/XFree86Config file, run redhat-config-xfree86, and
init 5.
