Comment 12 for bug 1794922

Downloaded http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/cosmic/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

wrote to usb & booted on dc7700. It mainly has 'install' options, I'm not willing to install to test; so selected 'rescue mode' ...

it asked a number of questions (keyboard, mirror..) then started downloads; about 40% done it went purple-screen ("Rescue mode" top left in white, white bar on bottom line, black space bottom left) & stopped dead. ctrl-alt-f2 asked me to press enter to open console, which put me at BusyBox v1.27.2.... ctrl-alt-f1 is static screen... i waited

eventually i hit enter, white bar increased in size (two lines); 'rescue mode' now gone, enter a few more times & white area is increasing.. I `ls` & enter and a line just has 'ls' on it now.

because I've not used this installer; I don't know if this behavior is normal, or wrong... the test cases in iso.QA are for 'install'.
