Are you using devfs? If so and you don't have the devfsd running, then there won't be any /dev/ttyX devices and the init process will try to spawn new consoles unless it gives up with the error message you described. Make sure to disable devfs support in the kernel in that case. Then you'll have the proper /dev/ttyX entries and init can spawn the processes without problems. CU Michael.
