Just tried it, same result...

Oh, the other interesting thing, if after boot and login I run
/linuxrc (which is a symlink to busybox), it repeats my init sequence
and exactly the same thing happens on the newly spawned gettty
session.  So, I don't think it's a race between /dev/console and
/dev/ttyUL0, for example.  It looks much more like an issue with the
first getty spawn from init.

Will get back onto it Monday, all debug vectors welcomed!

Thanks,

John
