Do you by any chance know how to get a readable/writeable terminal?  I
couldn't read a thing, it was like very cryptic terminal...  Just lots
of symbols, but no letters.

Notice:

% grep Environment /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/debug-shell.service
Environment=TERM=linux
Environment=LANG= LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE= LC_NUMERIC= LC_TIME= LC_COLLATE=
LC_MONETARY= LC_MESSAGES= LC_PAPER= LC_NAME= LC_ADDRESS= LC_TELEPHONE=
LC_MEASUREMENT= LC_IDENTIFICATION=

Not sure if that's what's causing problems...
