BTW during my toying MAKEDEV-ing random stuff, I got upstart to fail with:
init: system.c:119: Unhandled error from system_setup_console: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn mounted-dev main process: unable to open console: No such file or directory
despite /dev/console existing. I suspect /dev/null or stdin didn't exist (this was after MAKEDEV console, but I'm not sure whether I had console output in this particular test).
