The way inittab.install redirects base-config </dev/console
>/dev/console can fail in at least two ways:
1. If the user switches virtual consoles at just the right point during boo=
t,=20
base-config can end up running on some other virtual console than the
first. I have seen this during testing.
2. If base-config dies (or is killed), init will respawn it, and it will
spew all over the current virual console, which may already be logged
into. Not good.
I think it should use >/dev/tty0 </dev/tty0, similar to how it uses an
explicit device for serial installs.

* Joshua Kwan
- Pull in the stuff we removed for beta4.
- Instead of redirecting base-config to /dev/console all the time,
use the console we divined for inittab.real and redirect to THAT
instead. (Closes: #222575)
* Joey Hess
- Set up a /dev/cdrom link in /target, we cannot rely on discover doing
that.
