most likely you haven't created a profile for bootes in
/usr/bootes/lib/profile.. when you cpu as yourself your profile
detects that and binds /mnt/term/dev over /dev so you end up using the
draw device of your terminal.
do a 'bind -a /mnt/term/dev /dev' after you've cpu-ed as bootes and
the message will disappear. note, however, that you still won't be
able to use any graphics for the simple reason that bootes isn't
allowed to write to /dev/draw :)
