My server does not yet use udev, but it is using
"console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200n8"

I am not at home so I can't check the contents of these environment variables.
Especially for console as I have two of them in my cmdline for the
kernel, my guess is it will contain only the first.

man init says:
ENVIRONMENT
       RUNLEVEL
              The current system runlevel.
       CONSOLE
              The  system  console.  This is really inherited from the kernel;
              however if it is not set init will set  it  to  /dev/console  by
              default.

Hopefully minit and other init systems set them as well.
