yeah, its pretty good - i was impressed first time I got a shell too :)

questions i think i can answer:

hang on, do you have two macs? if you are compiling 'layers' then make
it with the setuid option - that way it can chown ptys and stuff and put
your layers in the utmp. i remember having to edit something to make it 
work properly under Linux.

I have a IIsi too, and know that you can't use the adb keyboard, so I just use
my monitor as a console.  The code to handle the console is found in
/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/dev/ite.c so if you want to, browse that. note that
'dt' and 'X' do their own renderring through the grf device, so they can handle
more vt codes than the raw ite device alone.
