It's still not a development issue.  User issues go to user lists.

No that's normal to look for updates/product as we can't guarantee
listings with http.

On my imac if I boot into loader, I can access tty3 and tty4 (anaconda
log and syslog) from the choose a language screen (before I even try to
load stage2.img) using option + F3 and option + F4.  tty2 (the shell) is
not present until stage2 is loaded.  This is not unique to ppc.

I've happily switched ttys in the installer on both the iMac and a g5
today using an apple usb keyboard.

Depends which ones you are looking for.  You aren't really explaining
what you tried this time around - try to get to tty3 and 4 and document
the keypresses you are using from the Choose a Language screen please.
