This problem comes up often.
You can NOT use /dev/console as your interactive login device without
first calling the ioctl to make it a "controlling tty". (Sorry I don't
have which ioctl handy.)
The correct thing to do is use the serial port, or virtual TTY as your
console device.. i.e.:
/bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console is _WRONG_. It works for
testing, but you don't have a controlling terminal.
You need to do something like:
/bin/sh < /dev/ttyS0 > /dev/ttyS0
(and if you want to see error messages, redirect that as well) :)
