Repeated message during initial setup after install obfuscates NCURSES menu

[richardjacton]

I'm running into an issue on the initial setup of TrueNAS SCALE (I used the TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.2.iso) I get the string below repeatedly printed to the terminal during the initial setup process. If I hit enter I can briefly see the menu of options to select things to configure if I pick one to configure by pressing a number and return this message continues to be printed which obscures the NCURSES interface used to do the config making it essentially unusable.

```
sysrq: HELP : loglevel(0-9) reboot(b) crash(c) terminate-all-tasks(e) memory-full-oom-kill(f) kill-all-tasks(i) thaw-filesystems(j) sak(k) show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(1) show-memory-usage(m) nice-all-RT-tasks(n) poweroff(o) show-registers(p) show-all-timers(q) unraw(r) sync(s) show-task-states(t) unmount(u) force-fb(v) show-blocked-tasks(w) dump-ftrace-buffer(z)
```
I was testing an install on a rather old laptop so this may have something to do the peculiarities of my hardware.

I'm new here - is this worth a bug report?

Unless your laptop boots via UEFI and has at least 16 GB of RAM, you're not going to get much traction with a bug report.

Ah sounds like the minimum memory requirement is probably the issue then it can do UEFI but it's only got 8Gigs of RAM
