emperor:~# ls -l /dev/console
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 25 2018 /dev/console -> tty0
^^^^ ;-)
Console is a symlink to tty0. I bet yours is not present. Take a bootfloppy
and see if it's in your /dev tree. Otherwise link it and try again.
This makes me wonder.... Is this symlink part of the install of base disks,
and is it currently present... (mmm, I don't know).
