One more thing concerning 3270 console support.  During initial boot up
messages would be directed to the 3270 device, but after the ctc device was
initialized no more messages were directed to the 3270 device.  I'm not
saying the ctc had anything to do with this, just that was the last message
I saw.  I could enter commands at the 3270 but it didn't appear they were
being read/used by anything.

I did a little googling and found an entry from utsglobal about changing the
console's major and minor numbers to 5 and 1.  I did this and now the 3270
divice is a fully functional console device.

What does this prove?  Not much but I got it to work with a little help from
my friends on Linux-390.
