New Revision: 259468
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/259468

Log:
  Add a fix for Long-standing problem with VMware. Described in below links:
  https://communities.vmware.com/thread/107230
  https://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11677
  
  Basically, ignore the ``function 62'' and ``function 63'' interpretations
  of the left/right command key when we're in the lengthiest portion of the
  installation (initiated by the `auto' module).
  
  The net effect is that you can now (once you've started the installer from
  the media) escape the VM without prematurely terminating the current action
  due to spurious escape sequence.
  
  MFC after:    3 days
