In single user mode installworld gets stuck at random place. This
happens on real boxes w/ ahci and w/ nata. This also happens in
virtual machines.
Pressing ctl-z and then running 'fg', could get installworld out of
stuck state, however, it still could get stuck later on.

In contrast, in normal mode, installworld will not get stuck as far as
I have tested.

Some signal issue perhaps ?

I have seen exactly the same behaviour with kaffe on NetBSD. The patch
in this PR fixed the problem:

This no longer happens on master; don't know which commit fixes it though.

Confirmed it's fixed (although the commit couldn't be tracked)
