Yes, "sh MAKEDEV all" was run in dev on the nfs server.

/home/marduk/dev:ziggurat# ls -lu console
crw-------  1 root  wheel    0,   0 Feb  7 18:08 console
/home/marduk/dev:ziggurat# 

The access time isn't changing on /dev/console, so I doubt init is even
getting that far when it tries to fork a shell.  And most times I check,
the execve in init doesn't seem to be happening either.  Something about
init is very unhappy.
