[Bug 1789920] Re: Installation in OEM mode broken on bionic

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

** Description changed:

- I have downloaded the 18.04.1 iso with alternative (legacy) installer.
+ [impact]
+ Users booting a device for customization in OEM mode have to switch to another vt to log in (and it's not very obvious at all that you can do this)
  
+ [test case]
  I took the following steps:
  1. Booted from the ISO (using BIOS, haven't tested EFI).
  2. F4 -> set the OEM mode.
  3. Proceed through the initial setup.
  4. Agree to reboot for the OEM setup.
  5. Observe systemd boot messages.
  
  Expected result:
- User is offered a login prompt to login as oem user.
+ User is offered a login prompt to login as oem user on tty1.
  
  Actual result:
  Boot is stuck without any error/explanation.
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ The patch is very small, only affects OEM mode, and even if the new commands fail would have little chance for regression beyond not fixing this bug.
