      .The driver disk menu now correctly displays user input on the console

      Before this release, when starting a RHEL installation with the `inst.dd` kernel command-line option, the console failed to render characters typed by the user. As a consequence, the lack of visual feedback made the application appear unresponsive, even though the input was still being processed in the background. With this update, this display issue has been resolved, and user input is now visible as expected during the driver disk selection process.

      Description of problem:
      Driver disk menu in RHEL-9.1 doesn't print what the user enters. This can be quite confusing as the user may think that the menu is entirely broken or has frozen (because no user input is echoed back), until enter is pressed:

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      anaconda-34.25.1.9-1.el9 / RHEL-9.1-20220718.0

      How reproducible:
      Always.

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. Start RHEL-9.1 installation with 'inst.dd' on kernel command line and a driver disk present.
      2. When the driver disk menu shows up, try to enter something.
      3. Hit enter.

      Actual results:
      Nothing the user enters shows up on the console. When enter is pressed, the actual input is confirmed (which most likely will result in an error as the user may try to enter the same input several times).

      Expected results:
      Anything the user enters is printed on the console, so that the interaction between the user and the TUI works with a proper feedback.
