Attahced id a modified patch. It sets the startup to 99, and the 
shutdown to 01 and it cleans up the menu. Given that, it worked well for 
me. Couple of UI comments:

1) It would be nice for the backspace to work.. but in console that may 
not be possible.
2) Can you hide the output of augtool? That is a detail I do not need to 
see.
