Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

In bug #925556, I showed you what a failed install looks like to a user
who has booted via grub's "(recovery mode)" entries.

If the user hadn't touched the keyboard, a normal boot would instead
proceed, whereupon the user would just end up on a black screen.

They might say 'I tried Debian. Black screen! Not even "BSOD" with a few
words on it. Forget it!'

"One can't just hack X Windows to do that" you might say...

Well please do something.
