So, you *could* do this:
su - to root
Download the wine tarball and untar it
Go in to the wine directory and type the following, in order:
./configure --without-x
make depends

My understanding from the reading I have done is that in a situation like

Does your screen goes blank just after the above message? If so,
press [Enter] key, you should see the boot being continued, and
login: waiting for input at the end.
