if one's going to add a hack like this, one might as well at least
make it general enough to be "completely useful," i.e. implement a
'fbtab' (or similar).

the biggest problems if you just hacked 'login' in this way are:
	(1) finding console name.  hard coded?  sysctl()?
		not necessarily accurate or portable.
	(2) doesn't deal with revoking permissions on the devices
		(or related actions, like unmounting partitions
		mounted from console-attached disk drives).
