In Fusion 5.0.3 Professional with OS X 10.8.4 guest os, entering the "special" login name >console at the login window results in a grey screen.
Entering other "special" names results in expected behavior.
>exit - relaunches loginwindow
>power - shuts down guest os
>restart - restarts guest os
>shutdown - shuts down guest os
>sleep - same as clicking Sleep button
If single user mode works, why doesn't console mode work?
