this would require some serious X.Org hacking, I assume – don’t expect
that too soon.

gdm checks for an unused vt, starting from vt 7. Maybe we should change
nodm’s vt setting to 7 as well, that will increase the likelihood that
it will work.

With some modules (g_ether, I guess), there is no automatic way of
deciding whether to load it or not (as it’s not a device driver, but
functionality). So I don’t think we can get rid of that.

By default we make fsck fix any error automatically, instead of asking
the user (which won’t work without an keyboard). I don’t think disabling
the fsck completely is a good idea. We could adjust the mount and
time-limit, though.

As usual, thanks for your work!
