Text Console on MacBook Pro (Debian)

[cburkins]

I installed Proxmox on a 2013 MacBook Pro. Works reasonably well. But can't get the text console working (I prefer the text console as underlying OS doesn't need any desktop env)

Here's the process I followed:

1. Couldn't boot from proxmox USB key
2. So I installed Debian (standard) instead
3. Text console was configured and working fine with "servername login:"
4. Installed proxmox
5. Now the console is no longer working. Just says "/dev/mapper/servername--vgroot....." on the console. It's still text only, but there's no login prompt anymore

Can anyone suggest a possible cause ?
