If the stuff you want to copy usually isn't longer then your 
text-terminal you could simply enable "moused" in 
/stand/sysinstall: You can mark the text holding your left mouse 
button and paste it clicking on the middle - even in a second 
text-terminal (with [ALT] + [Fn]). Would that do the trick?
