upon further consideration, i think the reason it fails to write to
/dev/console is that the nfs filesystem is mounted read-only.

even though there is a full /dev tree there (created by debootstrap, i
think), each terminal needs it's own /dev tree... hence the use of devfs
(or possibly udev).

not everyone does read-only nfsroot filesystems, so making it optional
seems like a simple alternative in the meantime...

live well,
