General PTY and CONSOLE question

[Thomas Doerfler]

Gene,

during startup RTEMS tries to open "dev/console". If you don't a device
of this name, you will run into trouble. PTY will be initialized later
(AFAIK), so this can't be a replacement.

Maybe the NULL device can help you as a dummy replacement of the console?

wkr,
Thomas.
