Switch virtual consoles as indicated. You don't have to install anything or overwrite anything or damage anything already installed to verify. Works 100% of the time. If it doesn't, you should file a bugzilla. I have installed RHEL, CentOS and Fedora on more than 1000 computers and have never not been able to switch consoles (<Control><Alt><F3/F4> give me standard and error out) so I use them routinely, especially when I am doing kickstart installs. Disk Druid is what it is - designed to maximize compatibility with a huge variety of installation scenarios that very much include dual booting DOS/Windows systems which is why it does things like it does. It's not broken, it just always satisfies needs that you apparently don't have. Hardly surprising. Nobody I know makes more configuration and operating changes to default installations with less understanding and weaker justification than you.
