Package: busybox
Version: 1.22.0-19
Tags: patch
FreeBSD kernel doesn't tell PID 1 the pathname of /dev/console through CONSOLE
environment variable like Linux does. Instead it expects PID 1 to always open
/dev/console.
This patch is tested on ubuntuBSD but I think it should work on Debian too (I
haven't tested the whole init yet, but I verified that with my patch it can
print to stdout).
I've also sent it to BusyBox bugzilla:
