GOOD JOB, PENGUINS!!!
I won't even be able to reboot my machine!!!
In addition to the suggestions already made by other posters, it's good
to keep busybox in mind. Depending on how you boot your machine, there
is usually a way you can pass 'init=/bin/bb' to the kernel at boot time.
You can do wonderful stuff with busybox when you're in a bind.
I haven't really been following this closely but I haven't seen any
suggestion to use "emerge -1 --quiet=y smart-live-rebuild" to remove
the offending curses output. Hopefully emerge doesn't check/use curses
unless it's producing actual output.
