Erm, do you have a /dev/console?  Just a thought, though the kernel should
warn you if you don't.

I believe that if you're doing a multi-user boot, /etc/rc should be the
first thing to be run by init.  It's probably worth booting single-user
first, in which case you should be able to get to the "Enter shell or
return for /bin/sh" prompt at least.
