Hello all!
  I recently tried to login on my FreeBSD 1.0 system as root (from the
console), but got a "root login refused on this terminal" error.  This
strikes me as a more than minor inconvenience.  i.e. What if there were
no other users (besides root) set up, and the user tried to boot a
syscons kernel.  How do you get around this?  

Thanks,
-Chris
