I had problems with turning off XDM as well, I tried changing the default 
milestone and ended up unable to login using the GUI (hung on the BIOS splash 
screen).  Fortunately, the grub installed by default had a text login entry, 
but it had problems with the TTY (stty broken, no line-feeds - hardware/BIOS 
issue?).  I was able to enable sshd and avoided a reinstall, but I'm at a loss 
how to fix the problem I created.

FWIW, there is a virtual console project that has a working prototype; a 
colleague had initial success with it out of the box.  See
