From 4ad8c12c9b21426166d55ef6e9e5aaad03df8c57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] check console device file on fs when booting
If a root filesystem is generated as non-root, one of
the tell tale signs is /dev/console not being a character
file. To save a whole class of questions, let's just test
for the condition and let the user know.
