Solaris policy is not to introduce plumbing into the user's PATH.
virt-console is undocumented and there is no advantage to running it
directly. If it were in PATH we would have to document it, and we have
no intention of doing that...

Nope, that's on STDIN, not the pty slave. Stupid STREAMS semantics.
