I strace'd a little bit, and there are some strange things
going on:

* init tries to write to fd -1 ! (maybe it didn't get some 
  valid stdio passed on startup)
* it tries to do some tty specific ioctl()'s on fd 0, which 
  doesn't seem to be an tty (at least it gets ENOTTY)
* when reading /etc/inittab, it gets fd 0, so it seems no
  other fd's (ie. stdin, stdout, stderr) are open !
* when trying to open /dev/console, it gets permission denied.


Any suggest what could be wrong here ?
