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.
Presumably this means WindowServer won't be running, so X11.app won't
work (remember, it's not a full X server but a protocol translator).
Install xorg from MacPorts and use that.
