ash: Can't access tty problems (initramfs)

Thanks for the tip!  At least I can make progress with it.  I'd still like
to know why I'm having trouble with 1.5.0.  I saw some explanation in the
FAQ, but I'm afraid it needs to be translated into noobese with some
specific examples of how to setup the tty / console.

Regards,
Dallas

I saw this too when I upgraded from 1.4.2 from 1.5.0, so I switched
back. The same /dev entries work perfectly in 1.4.2. I did not have
time/need to debug it.
