I have no idea why you get the message. The last time I tried booting my
TT with a ramdisk I didn't see the message and everything worked normally.

The message is printed in init/main.c:init(), just before /sbin/init is
executed, and means that fds 0/1/2 remain closed. But since booting
continues normally, someone apparently succeeds to open the console
sometime later. Without any information about why it fails initially I
see no way to explain the message.
