I filed #324675 a while back. I never noticed that the "\" might have something to do with the issue.

In /lib/debian-installer.d/S40term-linux (rootskel) console blanking is already disabled if $TERM_TYPE = virtual. In your case is it the serial console that blanks or the "host console"? Maybe you could test if the same works for serial consoles. (Note that setterm is not available.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
