Hmm

Before this thread got all sidetracked, it did have a point:  regardless
of whether upstart is event based, the login prompt on the console (the
tty that is /dev/console, not just any text screen: the other 5 virtual
ttys should be fine) should not come up until everything else is done on
the console.  Alternatively, the console should be moved elsewhere so as
not to interfere with the login prompt.
