boot-floppies broken for 2.0 kernels?

[Loic Prylli <Loic.Prylli@ens-lyon.fr>]

Hi,

It seems to me the last changes about /dev/conosle breaks the
installation for 2.0 kernels because

There seems to be no conditional in the patch below for the creation
of /dev/console, am I wrong?

And as far as I understand, and as I experienced, with 2.0 kernels
"/dev/console c 5 1" does not work.

- /dev/console compatibility with 2.2 kernel (will be overwritten by dbootstrap
  in configure_base() if installing for 2.0)

- added /dev/cua[01] for sparc (no more provided my makedev; required to boot
  on serial console)
