Playing around with a %pre script for user input, and while this works fine
in a normal shell, after I enter an IP it just hangs there and I have to hit
alt-f2 and kill the process before it moves forward .. Anyway ideas? Like I
said this works fine in a normal shell:

%pre
chvt 3
clear

CONSOLEIP=""
YES=n
while [ $YES != "y" ]
do
        echo -n "Enter the console IP: "
        read CONSOLEIP
        echo "You entered: $CONSOLEIP"
        echo -n "Is this correct? [y/n]: "
        read YES
done

echo $CONSOLEIP > /tmp/CONSOLEIP

chvt 1
%end
