I think this is because the device '/dev/console' does not exist.

You can either configure the kernel to automatically mount /dev at boot time,
or if you are using an initrd image, you can make the device in the /dev
directory of your initrd image like this:

   mknod console c 5 1

After the pivot_root, the /linuxrc will mount the real /dev tree.

Hope that helps.

Peter
