	init has code to automatically create an mfs /dev (using
	/dev/MAKEDEV) if the root filesystem is MSDOS, conditionalised
	on MSDOSFS_ROOT.

	Currently a system booted without /dev/console is SOL.
	The best solution would be to have the kernel handle this, but in
	the meantime, what do people think about adding code to init to
	check for the existance of /dev/console, and if not present,
	automatically create it?
