Apparently, if you set up login options on the mac so that the login
screen prompts for username and password instead of listing users, you
can log in with user ">console" and empty password. The result is
supposed to be a non-graphic plain text console, like the one you get
in single user mode, with a login prompt.
I think I tried this once and failed to make it work. Perhaps it
requires some extra magic in order to be enabled.
(I am not going to try it now; I have too much stuff going on to want
to log out at the moment.)
