A simpler method of direct-to-console booting
Authored by: sallred on Sep 17, '04 01:09:18PM

I need a why to boot into console directly, not single user mode nor '>console'.

I have attempted to edit the ‘ttys' file without any success under 10.3.5 client. See example below:

console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure
#console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/loginwindow"
vt100 on secure window=/System/Library/CoreServices/
WindowServer inoption="/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"

I uncommented out from in front of the first line above and placed comment in front of the second one. Saved the file, and rebooted and now the client machine stalls on "Login Window starting" boot splash screen.

If anyone has some updated information on this would be great, please let me know.
Thank you,
