upon further consideration, i think the reason it fails to write to /dev/console is that the nfs filesystem is mounted read-only. even though there is a full /dev tree there (created by debootstrap, i think), each terminal needs it's own /dev tree... hence the use of devfs (or possibly udev). not everyone does read-only nfsroot filesystems, so making it optional seems like a simple alternative in the meantime... live well, vagrant
