There seems to be a race accessing /dev/console.  A workaround is to
do "set -m" in /etc/rc before starting xfs.

Or you can kill the Xserver that's wedged trying to acess xfs; second
and subsequent Xservers work fine.

I still dont understand exactly what the race condition is; it'd be
nice to come up with a proper fix.
