Ah, that totally explains the problem -- no access to /dev/console
because it isn't the login tty.

Anyone have any ideas how this should be done "right" if you are using
pcvt? The problem is that you don't want to just change the
permissions permanently on /dev/console; you want them to remain the
same as the permissions on /dev/ttyv0. Under pccons this isn't an
issue...
