Bug Description
I've got complaints that newbies miss fuelmenu.
By default, we do not show Fuel menu which allows to configure Fuel Master node networking, DNS, NTP settings. It is impossible to do after installation.
When you try the product for first time, you have no idea about kernel option "showmenu=no/yes", and you can easily miss timeout waiting for you entering Fuel menu after Fuel master node post-install.
To improve UX, we need to show menu by default, so basically to fall into interactive mode. This, in its turn, means that we have to patch our system and other tests, development scripts, so they can continue work as expected (without hangs on fuel menu).

I'm so glad you put in this request. I always wanted it to default to yes.
We have some code merged for fuelmenu so that we can still do unattended demos on VirtualBox where it sshs in to the Fuel Master and runs killall -SIGUSR1 fuelmenu. There is already code to do this and set showmenu in system tests, so there's no blockers here on the system test side. All we need is a virtualbox deployment script function to handle this case.
