Presumably init does open the console, but hopefull doesn't do setsid.

(We *do* do "setsid()" for the linuxrc running, but that's not done by
the init thread itself).

I think the end result is fine, but then I look at that patch of yours
and it does many other things and that makes me nervous.

Can you separate out the different things it does into separate
