We did a run around this in 4.0 or so; I can't believe that someone tried
to put a getty on /dev/console *again*.
What was discussed before was fixing sysinstall to enable a getty on
/dev/ttyd0 *if* the install was being done on a serial console; this is
the only sane way to go about it. Putting a getty on /dev/console screws
up all sorts of things; most especially, non-serial-console installs and
X.
