 The real fix for this is to provide a decent console to it (null =
 console). But a quick band-aid is to use init from HEAD (the sources =
 compile without changes in 8.3-RELEASE).This version of init handles the =
 lack of a /dev/console device more gracefully by opening /dev/null or a =
 log file if /dev/console is not available.
