Try a newer init, such as sysvinit-2.59 that I uploaded to sunsite and
tsx-11 yesterday. When you go into single user level, init links the
tty you're on to /dev/console (so it becomes the "logical system console").
Ofcourse it shouldn't do this when you're on a pseudo terminal, but it
does. Pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL on the physical system console relinks
/dev/console to the virtual console master.
I've taken all this sysv nonsense out in later version of init (>= 2.58).
