In theory it should be sufficient to add the parameter "/CONSOLE" to the 
options command line in C:\freeldr.ini, but this does not work anymore 
(tested with a ~1 week old trunk version). I've looked a bit through the 
code of win32csr and the code for switching between CLI and GUI is still 
in place, but it seems that the start of WinLogon is the problem (which 
will create the desktop object, etc)... I've not yet managed to employ 
the correct registry changes to not start WinLogon (and also not crash 
the system), so I can't comment any further... :(
