I'm trying to get user input during the tsinit script running off my usb drive. 
(I know, I know, the point of tsinit is automated userless scripting... I've 
got my reasons...).

The problem is, if I issue a read command, the original shell is still watching 
the console as well, so both the tsinit script and the original console (pid 1) 
attempt to process the input...

The original prompt takes it as a command
and the tsinit script can't read it correctly (sees the enter key, but doesn't 
usually get the text)

I've tried forcing it:
read XYZ <$CONSOLE

but that didn't make any difference.

Any idea how to get the primary shell (pid 1) to stop reading the input and 
allow the tsinit script to properly read it?
