Please add this to release/rc.local instead under the console setup.
There is no guarantee that "auto" is running from an environment where
this is defined -- for example, it may be running from a serial console
or an xterm -- and the actual installer should not be polluted with
assumptions about the media from which it runs.

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
