Er, not the desktop.
The *text console*.

Get the address of the screen ( most likely from firmware, ) calculate the size of the screen and then rip it via firewire.

That should work, but you will need 2 macs.

A basic idea of how to write the ripping code can be found here, <ftp://ftp.AnarchistTurtle.com/Others/Quinn/Hacks/ FireStarter1.0a1.sit>, this actually pushes things to the screen but the read should be trivial.

Once this is done, you will then have to write a quick app to convert your raw grab into a jpeg or gif.

Can anyone think of a reason this wouldn't work ?

I did something similar a while back but not from ">console", but firewire will be up so it should work.

YMMV
