It's because you don't have a controlling tty at that point.
By default if a process is session group leader and it doesn't
have a controlling tty, the first tty it opens becomes the
controlling tty for the sessiongroup.
However /dev/console is special - it doesn't become the
controlling tty just by opening it. You must do some special ioctl()s.
"sulogin" does that for you, and that is what is spawned by init
in single user or "emergency" (-b) mode.
