actually, in the old implementation of the program, there was checking 
whether terminal is "/dev/ttyE0". i think that i have wscons=YES in the 
/etc/rc.conf (if i'm not mistaken, it is automatically added by the 
installer). however, i'm sure that ttyname reports in this case terminal 
name as /dev/console:

if(strncmp(tty, TERMINAL, strlen(TERMINAL)))
{
	fprintf(stderr, "Sorry, not at %s.\n", TERMINAL);        			exit(0);
}

for TERMINAL == "/dev/ttyE0" it complained every time. with TERMINAL == 
"/dev/console" i have no "Sorry, not at /dev/console" message.
