For many of us, the solution is already in this Bug report.  Namely:

 From comment #54
Comment out  "console output"  in all /etc/init/*.conf files that
have it.

 From comment #73
Add "started rsyslog" to the "start on"  stanza in /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf:
         start on ( filesystem
          and started rsyslog
          and net-device-up IFACE=lo
         )

 From comment #79
Add "init='/sbin/init --verbose'" to the linux boot line in grub.


Folks:
Have any of you found this insufficient?  Was there anything else you had
to do to achieve reliable boots?

I can imagine that items in /etc/init.d/* and/or /etc/rc2.d/* that attempt
to write to /dev/console could get caught in the race condition between
/dev/console becoming writable and them running.

To my mind there should be an event when /dev/console _is_ writable,
but I don't know if one exists or how to make it happen.
