Fixed /dev/console and booted 2.2.13:
Same type of problem:
Cleaning: /tmp /var/lock /var/run.
Initializing random number generator... done.
Recovering nvi editor sessions... done.
zs_open ttyS0, tty overwrite.
zs_open ttyS0, tty overwrite.
zs_open ttyS0, tty overwrite.
zs_open ttyS0, tty overwrite.
......
And then the kernel panic after a while.
I disabled nviboot: still does it.
It looks like it's doing it right when it's in runlevel 'S', right before
it goes runlevel 2.
I'll take a closer look at it in the morning.
