Hi,
 I've recently setup a centos 6 kickstart environment. Interesting fact is that 
the helpful 'shell command prompt' screen is missing when I press ALT+F2 key 
combination even on locally connected keyboard and monitor. ( my kickstart runs 
in text mode).

All other screens can be found without issues with ALT+Fn key combination. 

I googled internet, and found someone reported similar issues, say, here is one 
link: 
http://serverfault.com/questions/322374/kickstart-virtual-console-no-shell-prompt-at-alt-f2.
I read the link several times and still dont quite see why this happens, got 
confused at the following places:
1, when -- at which installation stage -- the 'shell command' screen will show 
up?2, if centos 6.6 and 6.7 comes without 'shell command prompt' screen with 
default installation media, then which installation media contains the file(s) 
that we can tune? /etc/inittab doesn't contain the entries related to tty 
consoles.
Centos 7.x doesn't have the issues and it looks like centos 7 leverages a new 
method to get shell command prompt.
Many thanks in advance.
Best,David
