I'm trying to install 19.7 and am hitting this bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230172

According to the thread in the bug this has been fixed in the 11.3 kernel but you can work around it by changing the /boot/loader.conf to include kern.vty="sc".

My question is how can I change this file on the USB install media?

Hi.
At the boot process you can select option 3.
Then type every line with return:

set hint.kern.vty=sc
boot


After install you can set this hint in your "loader.conf.local" to make it permanent.
