Sorry to reply to my own message, but I made headway on this. A "ps -
ax" shows a getty running on tty1, but I didn't see any keystrokes
when I did a "cat /dev/tty1". However I can see the keystrokes
appear when I press "enter" so I imagine I just have to
stty /dev/tty1 into some single-character mode and it will work fine.
Thanks for thinking about my issue anyway!
