It's probably not related to the patches in particular, but may be related to TTY in general. Typically, when there's no device found during bus enumeration that matches the device used for the system console, then init(8) will not have a device for its stdin, stdout and stderr. This used to result in a panic, but this may have changed with the dev_t refcounting. This should also have its effect when booting multi-user BTW. So, make sure you see the device used for the system console probed and attached in the dmesg. That's about the best thing I can suggest without having read your report. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
