The getchar() call may return an error reported as a -1, e.g. when the
console detects a RATP message and switches to RATP mode.
In general it probably is a good idea to ignore these errors in the
console countdown operation; and in particular for the RATP usecase,
this also prevents from interfering with the countdown and menu just
when switching one of the consoles to RATP mode.
As a hint, this is what the standard console was printing due to this
issue when the RATP console was activated:
Hit m for menu or any other key to stop autoboot: [: missing `]'
