I reverted following 5 commits from aff9b9ee89 of main and made
release build.
763db589328 rc: save and restore $IFS
f1ab799927c rc: fix rc script parsing
6e822e99570 rc: fix parse of $local_startup
d27999e5139 Create dhclient pid directory if it doesn't exist
77e1ccbee3e rc: implement parallel boot
Then iso image works with normal color mode.
