  Would you be able to boot into single-user mode (boot -s at the loader 
prompt) and 'ls /dev' when you get to the root prompt ?

  The syscons ttyv* entries are createc by devfs, so the only reason I 
could think that they don't show up is that there is no /dev directory 
on the root filesystem. But, in that case, init bombs out very early 
because it can't open /dev/console.

later,

Peter.
