Just write >console in the login prompt. (You have to turn off that cancerous username-list first.)
Also: to see all the stuff scrolling by on bootup instead of that useless logo, hold down cmd-v when you turn the computer on.

while we're on the subject, has anyone else been having problems with whitespaces in Terminal.app?
i discovered that sometimes when i type things like | and \ fast on my sweedish macbook keyboard i still hold alt while pressing space, this creates a space or the apperance of a space but tcsh does not interpret it as a space and you have to delete and retype it properly.
i find this weird.

⌥Space is U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, so no, a shell wouldn't see it as a regular space. My option key is bound to meta in Terminal, so I don't encounter this issue.
also i don't know if anyone replied but you can use the nvram tool to enable verbose boot, as an old freebsd user i find it more familiar. nvram boot-args="-v"
and then you can change the ttys file in /etc to disable loginWindow, just change it to console, comment out one line, uncomment another.

This thread only has a handful of replies. Are you implying that you're just TOO DAMN LAZY to click the "entire thread" link, skim through the mostly one-line responses, and follow that ONE SINGLE LINK which says the same damn thing that you just posted?
